Lost Oil pump chain tensioner/ guides bolts duratec 2.3
Hi all,
I'm rebuilding a 2006 duratec 2.3 engine and I have lost the bolts that hold the oil pump chain tensioner/ guides
onto the block. There are 2 of these bolts (I think), they have these barrel washer things on them that fit into the plastic tensioner, there is a similar bolt the the spring loaded peice that actually supplies the tension, the peice im talking about is just the guide on the other side of the chain. Is there a place to buy these specific bolts or will any kind of shop be able to make a bolt for me from scratch? Any help is appreciated, I can't proceed without these bolts.
2006 Ranger will have the 2.3l Mazda L engine, Ford called it a Duratec
A Ford dealer or Mazda dealer will have diagrams with part numbers for the missing parts
Mazda dealer is more likely to have the parts on hand because Mazda Cars as well as the B2300 used same engine, and from what you describe they are not Ranger specific just engine specific
Google: 2.3l mazda l timing chain diagrams
And click on the :"images" link, maybe you can find the part number
