2013 Ford Mustang - Timing Cover

Ford Mustang Timing Cover

The timing cover on your Ford Mustang protects the timing mechanisms from dirt and debris that can affect the engine timing and damage the timing components. Depending on the model, timing covers can be made of plastic or metal, or may hold oil to lubricate the timing chain. Timing covers can crack or corrode over time and may leak oil. They can also crack or warp from over-tightened bolts or be damaged by loose timing components that can cause damage to the inside of the cover. If your Mustang's timing cover is broken or failing, you may notice high revs, misfires, starting issues, excess engine noise, or excess exhaust caused by altered or improper engine timing. This may require timing belt or chain service, and the timing cover should also be inspected during your repair and replaced if it has been damaged.
