So a mechanic friend of mine has been helping get a very promising 1999 Ford ranger 3.0 V6 up and running, and we are replacing the crankshaft and main bearings this upcoming weekend. However, he mentioned a "timing chain gasket" as a part we may need to order, as apparently some of them are not reusable... Since this will be the first time I have ever torn into a 4 stroke motor of any type, I'm not real familiar with them, but I would guess it's the gasket for the timing cover?
The truck is about 3 hours away, so I will start it this coming weekend, but if I can round up the parts I need that would save time. Does anyone know if the timing chain gasket are reusable? Not that big of deal, but since I started all of this work back in MAY, I am tired of things delaying the progress, so I want to have all parts accounted for beforehand... Thanks for all help!
