SPArKy_Dave 8,863 Posted February 27, 2018 I dunno that I'd trust those Chinese LYO oil seals. Personally, I always get OEM NOK brand seals. (either direct from Ford, or from a bearing wholesalers) 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

351XD_Fairmont 604 Posted March 1, 2018 Have you got any pictures of removing the old seal from the timing cover? I've been told before how to do it but mines either baked into the cover or I'm just hopeless as it will not come out 2 CHESTNUTXE and Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deankxf 20,266 Posted March 5, 2018 did the gasket kit suit several year models? XD to XF ? if so you'd think they'd include the other size rear seal also 2 Outback Jack and CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,299 Posted March 5, 2018 Yeah 84 leaded set came with both i just never seen one like this or done one maybe ando can explain how they are fitted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ando76 4,354 Posted March 5, 2018 Carefully grab them with one hand - throw them in the nearest bin. Get Felpro 302W Neo seal.  Knock out rope seal retaining spike from cap, install Neo seal as per instructions inside Felpro packet - live happily ever after with an engine that doesn't leak and doesn't have parasitic drag loss from a crap rope seal. THE END 8 Valvebouncer, Ando81, Mr Polson and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
