My 2010 sounds like an actual diesel at idle

That's what I mean. Back a few years I could get a great discount just mentioning a shop I worked at, or even saying i had my own shop. These days when they should be competing for everyone's business by giving us a break, instead they give nothing! Even shops I know, their price had no break. Sometimes they were above off the street retail. All the independent stores are gone or going, and just the huge mega companies are left. Sad that we all order online, wait 2-8 days, all because rents/ mortgages/ manufacturing has gotten so out of control. Miss the old days, took them for granted back then! Oh well, at least our vehicles are cooler to drive now, just wish I could or wanted to work on it now!

I know what you mean.

I still go to the local mom and pop parts shop. Their prices are better than everyone else in town, and they do give me a discount for being on a local dad's Facebook group. So we get the same price as the dealer discounts.

Nobody else in town touches their prices, and they can get anything you want quick because the warehouse is only a couple hours away. Usually they have what u need in stock already.

But, they still can't compete with online prices.

Update on the engine,

Got the timing chain cover off to find that both chain guides are missing

Found pieces in parts of the oil pump

I didn't have all the peices there so I had to pull the oil pan off. Found the rest of it stuck in the oil pan, other parts stuck in the pickup tube which caused weak oil pressure.

Once complete I will have all new chains, guides, tensioners, oil pump, seals, phaser lockout, and cleaned pickup tube.

Should never have to go back into here again after that

I hope you got a new oil pump too. The oil pump is right there so I highly recommend you do that also

Absolutely. I'm putting all new everything in there.

Gonna skip the water pump since I can do it anytime pretty easily without touching all this timing stuff.

Awesome! What did all the parts cost? I'm looking to do mine this summer as its starting to make a little noise on cold start up but quiet otherwise.

I would have to check, but I think it's somewhere around $500.

I didn't buy genuine Ford parts.

Phaser lockouts :’(

Great news!

All the parts arrived today.

Bad news is I won't have enough time to put it all back together today.

My plan this evening is to get the new parts installed. Bar the engine over to be sure I didn't screw up the timing

Then tomorrow after work see how quickly I can put it all back together again.

Update:

Got all the new parts on today.

Also finally got the oil pan off and got to see the surprises in there

That looks like it's the rest of the missing timing guides.

Also found some pieces of junk in the driver side VCT solenoid

Glad I decided to pull the oil pan. The filter screen was plugged solid. Which explains the low pressure and chattering phasers

Its been a long road but hopefully it's almost done
