Torque that like button😂 very good video! I have this same car/engine at 253k miles on it, original water pump and timing chain, just fixed it’s lean condition, and thinking about doing this as preventative maintenance
It is a good idea, since they can contaminate the crank case with coolant and take out the bearings pretty quickly if it isn't caught fast!
@@JimmyMakingitwork could this also be the reason when I pulled my original oxygen sensors they had somewhat of a pinkish reddish hue to them, thank you for replying also😊
You can do this job wit gut dropping the engine cradle. There’s many tutorials showing how to not waste that time for the DIYer. It’s still a big job. Good tutorial anyway and I like your knowledge and care!
I have a more recent video where I did it in the car to compare. I forget which number Day in the Shop, but it was about 3 months ago. :)
You're really good DR Jimmy, it's gotta be so cool to work outside year-round. Hopefully the client went for a premium/OEM part LOL. The trick with these Ford/Lincoln with transverse 3.5 or 3.7 is to buy them used on the low end of the price spectrum and bring them to Jimmy when the pump fails.
Hahaha, buy them and bring them in!!!
Man you killed this one Jimmy! 🙌🏻 wish there was more “Mechanics” here in so cal that were as knowledgeable & capable as you are.
Seems like every shop around has one guy who knows his shit, & 5 that don’t.. wish I had a shop around here full of guys like you & couple of the other channels we know of
Thanks very much for saying so Ian!
You might just have to rename your channel Jimmy makes it look easy!! Probably one of your best vids so far!!
You think so? Thank you very much Bill! I'm trying to improve my camera work, but it's hard trying to make a living while improving my YT channel on the side at the same time. I always feel like it should have been better. :)
Agree 👍
You do a top job jimmy, well done. I admire how you able to work smarter not harder and share useful tips about safety and proper ways to work, and lets admit, this only comes with experience. Thanks for sharing with us, hope you get more subscribers
Wow, thank you Francoise, much appreciated!
Jimmy your the man
Haha, thanks Gerardo!
Nice job jimmy have yourself a great day
Thanks Christopher! :)
I have yet to find a single video showing the physical removal of the timing chain cover on a Lincoln MKZ. Most videos are of removal from a Ford Edge. The 2 or 3 that show someone working on an MKZ always cut out the part showing the cover being pulled from the engine bay with the engine still in the car.
The cover lifts out the top, catches a little in the bank 1 cylinder head area. But it lifts right out without much fuss.
That's a lot of work for a water pump. How many hours for that job?
It pays 11.8 and took about 8.5 - 9 hours. Hard to say exactly since they kept pulling me off and it was a 3 day process. lol
So how much a job like this cost Jimmy
Great vid! Knowing it was a dumb design, I change coolant religiously. 226k so far. I know it’s coming though
Yeah, the bearings have a life span. Coolant changes will keep it from speeding up the process though!
Yeap another 3.5 waterproof about 100k is all there good for
I disagree that the car is only good for 65k life expectancy. The 3.5 with the waterpump always changed is good for 500k easy
My life expectancy is a bit of a misnomer. It’s for when the problems start and medical conditions begin. ;)
Hi I have a Lincoln mkz 07 and I need a new water pump if I’m going to replace that should I get the timing done also?.
I usually do replace the timing components unless it’s low mileage and everything looks very good in there. A lot of work and not much in parts to do it all while in there.
My Lincoln needs a water pump
How long did it take you to remove and replace everything
Jacob, this job took about 8.5 hours taking my time to avoid a repeat. :)
Thanks for watching!
I have a mkz I have to replace the engine and all the timing components
1st!!!! Sweet job!!
Nice job! David, todays winner! :)
Those Fords with they’re stupid water pump design
IT amazes me that so many manufacturers are going to similar designs. The real problem is if you don't catch it in time it destroys the engine entirely. :0
@@JimmyMakingitwork true buddy
Good work . Coworker just put a motor in one of these . Both the turbos were shot what a dumb design smh 🤦♂️
Crazy how they are making them so hard to work on. They want them disposable like everything else nowadays I guess.
Lord have mercy. I'm so glad I didn't buy one of these or the Cadillac.
All this just for a water pump 😮😮😮
Yeah, it's amazing that they designed it as if it might never fail. Then it does.
I need you to fix my Lincoln
We can do that, contact the shop and schedule an appointment with us. Keep in mind we have been VERY busy, but we'll make it work!
How much did it cost?
This is a 10 hour job, depending on shop labor and other maintenance items it’s usually between $1500 and $2000 dollars.
using snap on tool does not make you a better mechanic
Exactly!
