Timing Chain Replace?
(2000 Mustang GT with Windsor)
I just finished pulling off my passenger side cylinder head to send to the machine shop to get serviced. I already plan on changing the tensioners and guides. But i was wondering if i should replace the chains and gears as well?. I found a kit on Ebay for the with the Chain, Tensioners, gears but im assuming OEM gears and chains will be better. The car only has 115 grand on her and the chain/gears look really good. Money is tight so Im getting the best I could afford. Any advice would help, also i should be changing other parts while the engine is take apart
Heres what I plan on buying Timing Kit, head gasket, timing cover gasket, and head bolts Im believe these are the parts I need

Before you buy any overseas (potentially junk) parts, check outTousley Ford. These guys saved me a pantload of cash on my build. I was looking for a bunch of timing pats for my DOHC build as well. Mike gave me a price for a Ford Racing set that was well below the component part prices. All the parts guys at Tousley are super sharp - they will make SURE you get the right part for your car.

While you are at it ... I had a great experience getting my injectors cleaned by a eBay guy named Seth that uses the handle Fuel_Injector_Physician. Send him an email for pricing to clean your injectors. Here is a current listing for him.
