[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1041632, member: 74901"] Below are Left+Right TimingCassette pics denoted. Sorry can't vouch for what revision of the Cassettes were used in your Reman Engine; I'd hope the latest component versions available at the time it was assembled\rebuilt. Many FoMoCo components have date stamps; the only real way to answer your question. Recommend changing the two OilPressurized TimingTensioners every 75k~100kMiles; while the Cassettes are the usual broken casualties, the Tensioners are the root cause, as they gum up & weaken with Mileage\Time.
