Just change plugs and all threads were covered in oil. I'm figuring on going to napa in the AM and getting the gaskets for a 00-02 lincoln. I plan on pulling a cover before I head out (to check tensioners) to confirm my belief that it has the old style. It's a 2001 with a vehicle build date of 12/00 but I can not find the engine numbers to check.
can anyone confirm what i assume?
Same year/model tensioners?
anything else I should do/ check while im there?


Now as for the maintenance questions
Do I need a puller to remove wiper arms to get to cabin air filter?
Does anyone know where to get the caps that cover the bolt for the wiper arm?
Is there supposed to be a hose on the second nipple on the coolant resivor near the firewall and where should it lead?
I'm missing 2 bolts to the coil cover where would I find replacements?
and lastly where can if Find (and what is it called) the rubber isolator stand off for the air box?

Sorry to ask so many questions at once but I'm trying to get this thing squared away right the first time after her year plus slumber in my dad's abandoned garage.

Thanks in advanced

 

No cabin filter on US cars.

 

is there a way to retrofit to us models?

 

If your car is a convertible, a cabin air filter would be pointless....

The black plastic wiper arm bolt cover caps may still be available at SNG Barratt Group....

No hose on the coolant reservoir's second nozzle of my wife's 2006 XK8 with the 4.2 engine....

 

The INSTRUMOUNT fastener for the air filter box is M6 x 1.00 double ended.(I forget the part number)
Expensive from the dealer but might be found 'after-market'.

 

I got wiper caps from Ace Hardware many years ago. $2 for 3. I don't remember a stock number. Found them in the hardware section.

 

sng barret had them I ordered this morning. Thanks though

 

The INSTRUMOUNT fastener for the air filter box are available on eBay for a very reasonable price

don’t have the part number though, sorry.

found these on Amazon
