They're secondaries, and you need the x4 bolts as they're shorter, if you use the originals you block the oil galleries...

 

Yep, secondaries. As Sean is saying be sure to get the bolts as well.

 

blimey went to the local Ford dealer, asked for 2 primary tensioners for a Lincoln LS 3.9L and was quoted $126

 

well i ordered tensioner parts from Autohausaz, then gaskets from rockauto, i just cant wait to get my car back on the road, its been 3-4 weeks since shes been driven, also ordered new front sway bar bushings, as ive tracked my front end clunking down the bushings

 

Yesterday I took my 98 VDP out for a spin. Been almost 5 weeks since I fired her up. (Driving old beat up chev van for winter) It is about -5*C outside. Fired up like a summer day! All systems go! I was off ....... heated seats, auto heat, stereo ....... great ride! But today snowing again

 

cant wait to get my car back on the road, just got parts in last night, so today is going to be packed of wrenching, just as long as i can find those crank damper bolts, no where in town seems to carry that kind of bolt

 

i was doing some cleaning to the cat today, then took a break to make myself a Bacon Butty, and took in the moment

 

to make that quote perfect, you need to add the word 'brew' as in cuppa tea, for example,

" nipped in for a brew and a bacon butty", (with HP source, of course )

 

I think you have been watching too many 1950's movies mate ;o))

 

Yesterday I changed the crankshaft pulley screw, as the pulley gets loose after a some months of using the car since the rebuilding. Now I changed that big screw (as it was said a lot of time in this site), with using a lot of screw locking glue. I made a special tool to lock the pulley (as I saw it on this site) while tightening the screw with about 250 lbft.

No word how helpful is this forum!

Some more works were yesterday on the silver XJR. I installed front fender (wing) mud flaps, and made a suspension/wheel alignment. Lastly I tried to change the fuel filter, but one of that's connection (left side screw) is so rusty that I gave up it until next weekend..

 

later after my snack i took another break to have myself a Pint, but i didnt get pissed

 

Removed the snow from the car. I was surprised by a blizzard -quite unusual in these parts of the Netherlands- and then drove it gently into her garage....

 

Yesterday Sunday, a nice 76 degrees outside here in Cary, NC winter, I decided to take a chance and flush my heater core.... (car has no cabin heat since purchased the car last May, but A/C has been way more important since then). Well, the flush was successful.... let there be HEAT! OK, so today though experienced a misfire on Cyl #8. Great. Now I can't even enjoy the cabin heat as I need to fix that problem first... I did have a lot of water "splashing" around the engine and probably caused a short somehow.

 

speaking of engine flushing, i should probably do that today, as im having the heat issue as well, its probably been clogged

 

well on my way to flush the coolant, at my local shop i realized i forgot something so as i approach my house i noticed the steering was losing power, so i pulled her into the garage, and a bunch of weird noises started occuring so i shut her off, and noticed a big stream of coolant leading up into my garage, which now has a puddle

 

Got this beauty in yesterday. Off Ebay for about 70 bucks that included shipping. 9 on scale of 10. Only slight "dirt" in grains of leather. Afraid to clean too hard because dye starts to come out.

 

Did you stop off for some of that GREAT Vietnamese coffee while in Garden Grove?

 

nice find, a wood wheel is on my to do list, just adds a bit more of a classy touch to the car

 

No airbag? have you got one to match?

 

Garden Grove is too far to drive to, in order to avoid FREE shipping! I let them ship to my door.

Love your steering wheel man! I have the identical one in my VDP, but it has a scratch in the leather on the left side. I need to take it off, and have it redyed. That's on my "ToDo" list.
