About to start the project to do the timing belt in the 2016 Fiesta ST (EcoBoost 1.6T), I've read two forums and watched a number of videos so I wanted to get some thoughts about this from anyone that's done it...

Parts Needed:
  • Timing Tool Kit with all pins and flywheel lockout via starter
  • Right Axle Bear Clamp (YS4Z-3N324-AA)
  • Crankshaft Bolt (BE8Z-6A340-A)
  • Timing Belt (BE8Z-6268-C)
  • Timing Belt Tensioner (BM5Z-6K254-A)
  • Water Pump (7S7Z-8501-C) and gasket
Recommended to change while in there:
  • Right Motor Mount
  • Serpentine Belt
  • Serpentine Idler Pulley
  • Thermostat
Questions I have:
I've read the service manual, it doesn't say anything about removing the valve cover, but a number of people online swear you have to. Curious on any other gaskets I may be missing on stuff that needs to come off that I am not anticipating?
