5.8L Timing Cover Bolt Kit

Post by **SteveG** » Mon Jun 15, 2020 12:30 pm

All,

We need to replace the water pump on one 5.8L and the timing cover on another 5.8L. Both will get a new water pump and new timing cover because they are very prone to corrode.

I always replace the timing cover/water pump bolts when doing this job because they corrode and eventually break. I used to order them from Ford but they're discontinued.

Anyone have experience with one of these kits?

I've just used the doorman kit for my 5.0 5.8 and 7.5 and haven't had an issue. I have had to remove them before and they didn't have a problem. Jegs should be a much better product.

Nice. That's good to know.

Did you use the 5.0 kit on the 5.8? Same kit?

This is what I used on the last water pump Flow Kooler.

Late Model Restoration has a kit made by ARP that I used on my 1995 F-150 5.8.

Thanks for the info, guys. I ordered the kit from Jeg’s. It appears to be close to the same as the LMR kit and also made in the USA. I’ll let you know how it fits.

Thanks again!

I ordered a pair of these: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aaf-all90018

A coworker (that was a career master mechanic pre-rugged) saw them at SEMA a few years ago and said their aluminum goods looked really good....

ok cool i just looked at my order history and the dorman was first....bolt didn't line up.....went with pioneer which i had originally but needed to replace due to gouges in crank seal location

I have yet to get a crank seal out without cracking a timing cover.
