My 2010 sounds like an actual diesel at idle
Sorry for not jumping on here sooner! I ended up putting all the videos together in an easier to follow way on my youtube channel. You can see it here Hope you figure out how to get that cover off. Sounds like you missed the dipstick bolt like PitDexion said.- Stinky_1

Greetings from Canada
Actually in the winter white vehicles tend to turn a dark brown. So they are still pretty visible. My wife will be driving this one if it ever gets running again. She tends to wash her vehicles a lot more than me though, so I suppose there is a chance we could lose it in the parking lot in a...- Stinky_1

If you do it before the guides break you could save an easy 3 hours of fighting with the oil pan- Stinky_1

My 2010 sounds like an actual diesel at idle
Ours is a 2010, there is tons of room to do everything. The hardest part has been getting the oil pan off. I wasn't able to drop the front diff as far as it needed to go. So it took a lot of pulling pushing and smashing to get it out, and then back in again. Now I'm on the home stretch. Just...- Stinky_1

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...- Stinky_1

My 2010 sounds like an actual diesel at idle
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...- Stinky_1

I would have to check, but I think it's somewhere around $500. I didn't buy genuine Ford parts.- Stinky_1

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.- Stinky_1

My 2010 sounds like an actual diesel at idle
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...- Stinky_1

My 2010 sounds like an actual diesel at idle
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...- Stinky_1

Actually my local parts supplier can get me pretty much everything the same day (if I call before 8), or by the next day The problem is the cost is 2-10 times more from them. So I'll wait for shipping online, and save my money- Stinky_1

My 2010 sounds like an actual diesel at idle
Update, I opened it up to install the phaser bypass. The passenger side cam chain is extremely loose. Normally it should be tight. I am suspecting there is a leaky tensioner on that side so I have continued tearing the front cover off Found a little surprise though, my harmonic balancer on...- Stinky_1

Runs good. Supposedly they loose a little top end power, but you could not prove it by me. That's a quote from a guy that installed the phaser bypass and did not do the tune. Just added the shims and drove it. Seems to me that the bypass does not leave it down on power Note that the bypass...- Stinky_1

I'll see if one of my scanners will let me pull up the graphs for those. The video I posted already shows the timing graph. Which is all over the place when it's acting up.- Stinky_1
