RE: Lifter Gallery Leaking?
By John - 09/15/2002 5:35:14 PM; IP 142.177.82.153
The screw doesn't plug off any lifter galleries. It plugs off the gallery to the distributor. If the screw is properly torqued, it shouldn't leak at all, at least not significantly, so I suspect the screw is loose. This is not surprising as Ford only calls for 12 - 15 ft-lbs which I don't think is enough, plus any amount of torque at all is difficult to achieve with a Philips head screw like this one. I would put a little red loctite on the screw and retighten it to more like 20 ft-lbs. As far as the knocking is concerned, if the screw is loose, the cam retaining plate could be causing the sound, or the screw head could even be in contact with the sprocket, but I suspect your knocking may be unrelated to this problem. How's your oil pressure anyway?
This thread, so far...
