Okay I have 220 on the clock of the 2004 5.4 so I have elected to do the front end (Timing). purchased All ford timing components everything. Also purchase all new lash adjusters. Have a good mechanic thats going to do it all for 650.00(Labor) so I paid 800 for everything(all Ford OEM) I listed above. Did i get a good price? Just wondering. I would have tried it myself but then I would have had to buy the special tool and all that crap. The truck is running fine and does not burn oil at all(Always Syn and always at 5,000 miles.) Just wanted to get it done as I put a lot of miles on it in the summer heading up to the NW.

 

If you're comfortable with the prices, then it's fine, as long as your mechanic does good work. Parts wise, that's about the cheapest you'll get with all new timing components and lash adjusters.

 

I'd say thats an excellent price.
