Preface: 2000 Mustang GT, 103k miles
My timing cover is cracked on a pulley mount (see attached). I replaced the pulley, but it still squeaks, and I'm not sure I'm able to tighten it down "enough." I got another timing cover from my boss; it's off a Ford truck, unknown year, and I was wondering if it would work. Mine has the 1-bolt tensioner, and this other one has the three-bolt tensioner. My questions are:
1) Will the truck cover work?
2) Will I need to reroute the belt with the different tensioner? I haven't looked at it since Christmas, but it appears the tensioner faces the opposite direction.
