FEATURED ADVANTAGE STORIES
TIMING CHAIN GUIDE BOLT
Extracting what’s left of a sheared-off bolt from inside a cylinder head is almost never an easy task. In fact, it often requires removing the head from the engine and tapping out the old bolt to finish most jobs. And when that sheared bolt happens to secure a critical piece of engine hardware, there’s simply no ignoring it.
4WD HUB LOCKING ACTUATOR DELETE
When someone with a Ford F-150, Ford Expedition or Lincoln Navigator comes into the shop, complaining about a grinding sound from the four-wheel drive, there’s a common diagnosis: a bad vacuum activated front axle hub actuator. The internal diaphragm on these parts wears out from regular use, or cracks from lack of use, as well as poor internal lubrication. The grinding happens when the splined actuator doesn’t have the vacuum it needs to fully engage the axle shaft. Eventually the vacuum leak expands, preventing the system from working at all.
VVT SOLENOIDS & SPROCKETS
Variable valve timing(VVT) was a breakthrough technology when it first arrived. By continuously fine-tuning the timing of the intake or exhaust cams (or both), it became possible to achieve optimum performance while reducing fuel consumption and harmful emissions. To achieve these conflicting objectives, VVT systems use electric solenoids that vary the amount of oil flowing to hydraulic cam adjusters, also called phasers.
