Timing Tensioner Iron vs Plastic
Why did Ford change the composition of the timing chain
tensioner from iron to plastic from 01-02 ? The 2001 has a
ratchet that holds chain tension with no oil pressure
(fail-safe if OP lost). 2002 model oscillates the chain
against plastic guides at every restart until OP is gained.
