wild bill Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 As thread title i'm struggling to locate the right part. Its a 2009 2.3 Duratec and my timing chain cover has a crack (slight but weepy) so i need to replace it. Is it the same as the 2l cover? is there a ford part number anyone knows?

cobar Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Not sure how much this will help in UK searches, but for US cars, the 2.3L in the 2003-2007 Ford Focus used part number: 2L8Z-6019-AA. The 2.3L is about 13mm taller than the 2.0L and they use the same head, so I suspect timing cover height may differ between the two engines.-John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobar Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Hmm... Ignore that last comment about 2.0L and 2.3L timing covers. I was just looking at a Mazda part number (L3N5-10-500C) and it shows that it fits 2.0L and 2.3L. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild bill Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 2.0l does nor fit 2.3 from my research so far in UK. This may of course be hogwash you just never know these days. That part no is US not UK as welll byb the look of it. This is stumping me atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Walker Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 your timing cover is different to the 2L being 13mm taller. I suspect difficult to find one and if you are sucessful it will need the drive pulley boss machining off it and a blanking cover fitted. If possible it may be better to repair what you have.
