Ahhh...the ol' front cover vs. valve cover war... You know, you could've cheated by loosening all the VC bolts and lifting the front enough to clear the front cover when you rotated it off...instead of removing the whole darn thing... One good thing about that method...you'd end up with a...- The Shadow

I've replaced timing stuff with the crank at about 9 o'clock and the cam gear dimples about 90* from the valve cover surface. If that's where you're at, keep the zipties on and go. If the cams are 180* out, you'll have to turn the crank one more revolution. I've never done it with zipties on...- The Shadow

Another thing...(as senility strikes!...) when initially cranking to build up and circulate the oil, I always disable the fuel supply to avoid spraying raw fuel into the cylinders, and washing all the oil off the walls. Pull the fuel pump relay, or hit the collision cutoff switch til the...- The Shadow

Oxygen Sensor Connector Help
That's how I managed it through the wheelwell, without removing the cover (inner fender?). I would've had a little more room by removing the wheel, but I'm small enough to get by without that. When I was underneath, I could reach my left hand in from the wheel side above the frame, and managed...- The Shadow

Oxygen Sensor Connector Help
Thanks for the welcome and the reply. I just got it reconnected! I found the tranny dipstick support on the side of the head, and that gave me enough clearance to get it from the topside, with the starter relay disconnected, and the engine and tranny harnesses and mounts moved out of the way...- The Shadow

Oxygen Sensor Connector Help
Hello, folks. First poster here...2000 Expedition 4.6L 4R70W tranny. I'm replacing the upstream o2 sensors, and am having a devil of a time getting the passenger (Bank 1) connector reconnected. There's just not enough room to get my small hands in there. It seems if I could free the tranny...- The Shadow
