Does anyone recognize this 4.0 SOHC part?

Hi,

I have 4.0 SOHC question for those experienced with the internals of this motor. Mine's a 97 and I'm about 50% complete with a repair/partial-rebuild and find myself in a situation where I have what might be a "leftover" part.

It's a "spool/spacer" that appears to have been on the upper mounting bolt of the old-style, broken LH-front cassette, but I'm not 100% certain. Does anyone here recognize this part or know if it's needed after updating to the later, stronger cassette?

I think it might have been replaced by a single mounting bolt that came with cassette kit 7U3Z6A257A but would love to know for sure before continuing with further assembly. Thanks in advance! :-)

97 would be a 4.0L OHV not an SOHC but I don't know the answer to your question, sorry lol.

Didn't the Explorer have the SOHC in 97?

I don't know what that part is either.

Hi,

It's definitely an SOHC, but no worries .... was just curious. I'm pretty sure that based on it's size and threads, that it must have been the fastener set-up used in the upper position of the original L/H cassette. I just wish I would have taken pics of that particular phase of disassembly like I usually do. Should know for sure within the next few weeks ... ;-)
