128K. Other than running a quality oil with regular changes, IMO and given how easy the job and cheap is, if the only PM I were to do in the name of timing chains matters it would be to replace the RH tensioner. Some people say that if you hear timing chain noise (can be be pronounced on startup), that you might fix that with new tensioners. I"m sure that fix has worked for some, but I bet by the time it gets to that point there is some accelerated wear on the cassettes that isn't in anyone better interests.

Next few pics show RH valve cover reinstalled along with vac hoses, wiring, cooling system hoses and coolant tube assembly.
![]() ![]() Next is installation of the upper and lower thermostat housing, hoses (pay attention to clamp locations) and associated parts along with alternatior wiring. It's worth noting that contrary to what the Ford FSM says regarding replacement of the two temperature sending units, removal of the intake is NOT required to gain access to replace these (each is held in by a clip, could be different if they are the threaded type). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ***Pay attention to wire routing so as to not have future abrasion issues. Pics shown in this thread show OEM location and routing for all hoses, clamps and wiring, including spark plug wires.
