replacing timing chain guide?

[Don Donaldson]

Can the Rear timing chain guide be replaced without pulling the engine? I have a very basic schematic I found that shows it generically beneath a valve cover and the screws holding it in place coming from the rear of the motor. If anyone has a ford shop manual could chime in and just give a basic overview of what is possible that would be awesome. I am going to have the truck compression tested soon to see where I stand as far as the engine overall.



Hope to Keep on trac'n

From what I have seen and been told, no.... you need to yank the motor...
