Ford 5.4 2V Timing Cover Torque Specs, Bolts & Gasket Install

In this detailed and informative video, I will guide you through the process of timing chain cover gasket and front crank seal replacement on a Ford 5.4 liter 2 valve motor. My step-by-step tutorial will provide you with clear instructions and guidance throughout the process. I will provide detailed torque specifications and tightening sequence pattern for the bolts, ensuring a good seal. I will also provide detailed bolt location information so you can make sure the right bolt is in it's proper place. Following the torque specs and tightening sequence will help ensure a proper installation with no leaks.

I chose to use the gasket kit from Fel-Pro. The part number is TCS45982-1. It contains all the seals and gaskets except for the Permatex Ultra Black.
