Services Performed
- Complimentary Vehicle Service Inspection
- Inspect for external oil leaks, add dye to oil and inspect with black light. – Confirmed, found engine oil leaking from multiple locations. – Largest oil leak present from timing cover and from vacuum pump. – Secondary smaller leak present from passenger side valve cover gasket. – Advise customer labor to reseal timing cover includes time to replace timing chain components but does NOT include time to replace variable valve timing components. This is a pertinent detail on this vehicle due to the fact that the 3.5L Ford engine is known for timing chain and/or variable valve timing failure. – Tear down / removal process will require removal of all accessory drive belts, thermostat, and water pump, recommend replace components while out for service. – Recommend remove timing cover, valve covers, and vacuum pump, replace timing components and/or variable valve timing components, replace timing cover seals, valve cover gaskets, and vacuum pump gasket, re-assemble, flush engine coolant and perform LOF service, then retest for leaks from engine.
