Slight progress, but then I found out my connecting rod bolts were pressed in. So I had to remove the pistons and take them to a shop. I got them back only to find out I need a special tool to replace the auxiliary shaft bearings. Do you know what tool that is and if I can replace them myself?

Hi, Ariana.

A balance shaft is only used on the 4.0L SOHC engines on the 4wd models. See the pics below. Are you referring to something different?

Let me know. Also, let me know how things are going with the rebuild. I'm interested in knowing.

A tool is a camshaft-bearing tool. It has different adapters on it for removing the bearings and installing them.

No that is the one I’m referring to. I’ll attach an image.

And okay, thank you. That cam tool will work for the auxiliary shaft bearings too?

Hi,

Yes, the same tool should take care of that as well. Keep me in the loop. I'm really interested in knowing your progress.

Also, let me know if I can help.

Take care,

Joe

As Joe said, the tool I attached and one you have does the same thing. Make sure you put them in the correct position. There should be marks on the bearings such as 1, 2 or 3.

Okay, I ordered the bearings and the tool. They will both arrive on September 1st. My book says not to put oil or assembly lube on the back side of bearings, but I was wondering if you could tell me why. Also, does it matter if I use oil or assembly lube? If so, in which places do I use oil and in which places do I use assembly lube?

Never any oil on the back side of the bearing.

Use assembly lube on the bearing surface.

Okay I won’t, but why not? What does the oil do? If there’s already a hole for the oil to pass through won’t it get in there somehow anyway? What damage is caused from oil getting on the back of the bearings?

The hole is for oil to lube the bearing while running.

If you put oil on the back, it may damage the bearing installing it. It requires installation dry in the back.

I had my bolts separated but I am also in the process of fixing my house up (painting, skim coating drywall, etc.) And in all of that my bolts have gotten mixed up because I wasn’t being careful. Is there a way for me to find out which bolts go to which bolt hole? Only thing I can think of is laying them out and matching them up and if there are 5 that fit in a place that has 5 bolt holes then put them there. The bolt holes that are left over I was going to call the parts department at the Ford dealership and ask what the part numbers are for those bolts and look them up and match them up with the bolts that are left over and put them in the appropriate bolt hole. That will take a while though so I’m hoping there is an easier way.

The bolts are not marked so there is no way to identify the exact location of the bolts.

Can you attach some pictures of the bolts for me to see?

There are a lot. I know where some of them go. Right now I am trying to figure out which two are the balance shaft tensioner bolts.

I found a picture of the tensioner but it does not list the size or length of the bolts.

I would try the 2 bolts by your right foot behind the pile of bolts. They look like the size.

Although I did have a question about my old pump. There is a small crack where the screw goes in but if I put some sort of sealant on it will it be fine or will I have an oil leak?

You need to replace it. The crack is no good and could cause leaks or future problems.

You are this far, so replace it now to be sure there are no future issues.
