Explorer Serp Tech Help

[CaryC]

I bought a setup yesterday freshly removed from a 2000 explorer. The seller did not include the Explorer short timing cover, he said that was an engine part and not included.

Do I need the Explorer short timing cover or can I use the stock cover on my 302?
I am collecting parts at this stage, how many bearings will I need?

Thank you!

Yes, you need the Explorer cover in order to run the shorter water pump.

As said above you’ll need the Explorer cover. You should be able to get one at any auto parts store or online from Wild Horses, BC, or even rock auto.

What they said above about the timing cover.

What do you mean by bearings?

Here is the Dorman timing cover. when you are talking bearings, do you mean the ones In the pulleys? I bought the Gates kit.

Don't forget the exploder water pump also, OE from any parts store or you can pick up a flowkooler from one of the bronco shops.
