windsor vs. romeo timing kits???

Boostang · December 16th, 2009, 09:12 PM

lol well do the locals know what they are doing??

BakerFX4 · December 16th, 2009, 09:15 PM

ummmmm..... LOL. One of them has changed my gears, replaced my clutch (3 times). Ive watched him pull a BUNCH of motors and seen him set timing on some motors so.... And the other one can do all that also. I may be aight. When could you get away from gay ole alabama?

SWEET2KSTANG · December 16th, 2009, 09:15 PM

i had to replace my guides, arms, and chains on mine. they were worn pretty damn bad, i had 9x,xxx miles on mine.

Boostang · December 16th, 2009, 09:17 PM

lol i guess some motors just wear differently huh sweet??

but baker you may be straight.. but itll be after christmas fo sho.. ole lady might be going into labor tonigh too lol

BakerFX4 · December 16th, 2009, 09:18 PM

hmmm.... What about the tensioners sweet?

BakerFX4 · December 16th, 2009, 09:18 PM

Your bout to have a kid????? U are lying!!!!???

Boostang · December 16th, 2009, 09:20 PM

i thought i told u that baker??

carnut59 · December 16th, 2009, 09:23 PM

my guides were bad with 56,000 miles on them. i used oem parts.

SWEET2KSTANG · December 16th, 2009, 09:25 PM

tensioners themselves should be just fine. i have heard the windsors tend to wear the guides a little more than romeo's. if i remember right, there was some improved design for the 01+ cars, but i havent looked into that to see if there is any truth to that theory.

BakerFX4 · December 16th, 2009, 09:27 PM

I would just like to know if there is a difference. On the summit link i posted it says they are the same but on ebay there are some for 01-04 and then 99-00. Anyone know for sure?

Boostang · December 16th, 2009, 09:28 PM

there is no difference.. besides the theory that sweet posted?

carnut59 · December 16th, 2009, 09:29 PM

the new tensioners from ford are made out of nylon. and are a different style.

BakerFX4 · December 16th, 2009, 09:34 PM

Ill just wait. Dealership saved me all the info and i told them i would let them know on the timing stuff.

Rotating assembly will be here monday
Romeo valve covers came today (thanks y2k02)
Oil pump/pick up tube will be here friday
TTY bolts and both crank seals will be here friday

Timing stuff and rocker/lash adjusters will be observed. Gaskets in final order. Dealership can have whatever "next day"

Am i missing anything that you guys can think of?

Boostang · December 16th, 2009, 09:41 PM

nope thats about it

i bought this kit..only diffrence than mine was the crank gear...the one on the kit has a lip on it that the one on my car didnt have. i learned the hard way, after a snapped front cover, thats when i figured out the difference so i just used the old crank gear
im guessing my car has a windsor being that its a 2000, and on the ebay ad there is a big ass W that i thought was for windsor but i dont know..everything else worked fine for me
