Does anyone have the part number for the 2 HPFP bolts for a 2013 F150 Ecoboost? I can't seem to find it. I called Lasco and they said W706027-S439 but that comes up for a different year.
Thank you for any help!

Hi All,
I'm looking for some direction on where to look / what to do next. I have a 2013 F150 with the 3.5L EcoBoost engine. It's at 90k miles and I just replaced the phasers and timing chain. The replacement went smoothly and I didn't have any issues with following the online guides and videos on the procedure. I was able to lock the cams, and then align the phasers and crank timing dots with the correct links on the chain. After following the startup procedure, the truck fired up fine and runs smoothly. However, after driving for between 5-10 minutes the p0016 code returns.
For some background on the replacement:
- The original timing chain was defiantly worn. The original tensioner was fully extended and there was enough slack in the chain to almost get a finger under it (but not pull it off any teeth/gears) .
- I used the ford tensioner kit listed in TSB 17-0026, BL3Z-6D256-C (rather than a -B) and the parts guy let me know it was the most recent version.
- After startup procedure and checking oil/coolant levels - truck was let to idle until warm with all accessories off to re-learn. Truck was then driven around 20-30 minutes for testing. After clearing the codes, it takes about 5 minutes for PCM to throw the p0016 code and then another 2-5 minutes for the MIL to come on confirming it.
I do an ODBII with ForscanLite setup to it and was watching the VCT_EXH and VCT_INT actual degrees. They varied individual up and down a little bit but stayed pretty close to the below values:
VCT_INT_ACT1 - 13.56 degrees
VCT_INT_ACT2 - 11.02 degrees
VCT_EXH_ACT1 - 12.30 degrees
VCT_EXH_ACT2 - 11.28 degrees
However, I'm not sure what the default values are supposed to be or if these are off at all. Looking for some direction on what to do/check next. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Devin
