If you try to follow exact sequence for about 40 bolts it will be dry long before you reach torque. Copper spray head gasket, cheap insurance Longest timing cover bolt usually is thru upper pulley bolt. Timing cover should have a couple dowels to help placement Copper spray ex gasket Use crabk sensor bolt lower pulley 6 o clock. If you use one too long interferes with holding tool Sealer around watwr passage egr both sides cheap insurance Sealer water neck same Use name brand timing pin or kit only. Some aftermarket are actually slightly off. Ford has them for around 30 dollars. If older vehicle check seam around Intake for leaks.

I found a pool of oil in the number 1 spark plug well. Thought for sure I had the problem in the bag. Since the engine had 178K miles on it AND the plugs and coils looked original, with FoMoCo identity, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace them. I bought OEM SP-530 plugs and OEM DG-522 coils. Also replaced the valve cover gasket with Fel-Pro. The oil leak is gone the the misfire still exists. Compression is good on all cylinders. I suppose a leak down test wouldn't hurt. Do you have any suggestions where to go next? Again, thank you!!!!!

Hi Dale, I appreciate the compliment. I would still be suspicious of the number one ignition coil. First, pull the coil out of the well, then plug it back in to the electrical connector. Get a test light and hook it to the ground post of the battery, now start your engine. Put the tip of the test light inside the coil boot to see if it is firing (you’ll see a spark jumping to the test light.) If not, I’d suspect a wiring problem to that coil. If the coil checks out OK, reinstall it. Now start your engine again, this time check to see if the fuel injector is firing. To test it, take a long screwdriver and just touch the side of the fuel injector and put your ear up to the handle of the screwdriver. I know it sounds weird but the sound will travel through it and you’ll hear a clicking noise if it’s working. You can compare it to the other ones to see what they should sound like. Hope this helps.

Great video, ACCEPT, On the last check you did but you had to make a small adjustment on one of the cams to get the slot more horizontal on the end of the camshaft, you made some kind of adjustment to turn the camshaft, but the whatever you did was not in the view finder of the camera. I have no idea what adjustment you made to turn the camshaft? I am in the process of trying to Tom the engine I think this is an important part, my engine keeps feeling like it’s wanting to lock up. How do you adjust the camshaft? Also is there any camshaft position sensors on the Ford 2.3 four-cylinder engine? Thank you

@ToolDemos

Жыл бұрын

Hello IC, the only thing I did to adjust that camshaft was put a 23 mm wrench on the flats of it to turn it a tiny bit. My assumption was that because the chain I installed was a used one it was a little bit longer than new. I would be very careful right now if it felt like the engine was “locking up“. This is an interference engine and if your timing is off, your pistons can hit the valves. I would go back and make sure that the locking pin for the crankshaft was the correct one. The kit comes with a smaller pin and a longer pin and instructions on which one to use for your application. Turn the crankshaft clockwise until it hits that pin and stops. Then set up your cam shafts so that they lineup with the locking bar. Also remember that the intake camshaft is the one that has the timing ‘arm’ at the very back of it. That is the little protrusion that your cam sensor picks up. That answers your second question, the cam sensor is located on the intake side of the valve cover near the back of the engine.

Thanks Miles.

Sorry but his procedure is WRONG! You NEED to loosen both camshaft sprockets bolts so they move freely. If you mess with the wrench while the timing tool is installed you risk to damage the camshaft and definitely bend the tool. The purpose of the Duratec not having a keyway on the cam- and crankshaft is that the tension of the timing chain will adjust itself because all sprockets are loose. You just install the timing bar and both timing pins (one on the left from crankshaft pully into engine block, after that one trough the hole on the front of crankshaft pully). This sets all components of the engine in TDC. Then release the chain tensioner and fasten the cam- and cranshaft bolts. This makes working on the timing chain very easy and foolproof - if you know the procedure. Check out Alan Howatt Video "Timing Chain, Ford Mondeo Mk3 2L Duratec" for better and step by step information.

Hi Frank, oil leaks can definitely damage a starter. To know for sure if the rear main seal is leaking you want to have a look at the engine side of the flex plate. To do this you’ll need to get under the car and find the cover plate on the bottom of the bell housing. Remove that and have a look at the flex plate, if it looks like streaks of oil are being flung out to the outside teeth of the flex plate - you have a rear main seal leak. Also have a look at the top of the engine just below the valve cover if the valve cover gasket is leaking you’ll see evidence of that on the side of the cylinder head.

If the intake cam rotates counterclockwise as you push on the chain and then springs back, I would suspect a worn out chain. The problem is not likely to be the timing chain tensioner because it’s on the exhaust side of the engine. Before you pull the timing cover - check to make sure that the crankshaft is not rotating when the cam rotates. If the crankshaft stays put, then all of your play is between the intake cam and the crankshaft. In that case you’ll need a new timing set. I would recommend replacing the chain, the guides, and the tensioner all at one time.

Remind everyone to do with plugs out, people will confuse compression with hitting a valve

Is $525 a fair price for replacement of pcv valve, rear crankshaft seal ? I think it's a bit much because he'll charge more for valve cover ..2016 Focus SE 2.0L duratech engine

The PCV valve is cheap and easy to replace, but the crankshaft rear seal is not. The transmission has to come out to do that one. Assuming you live in an American city, I’d say you are getting a good price.

@@frankmontez6853 Your Engine has two crankshaft seals, one in the front of the engine and one at the rear. The rear crankshaft seal is more commonly known as the rear main seal and that is the one where the transmission has to come out. The front crankshaft seal is in the timing cover and is sealed to the harmonic balancer. If your timing cover is leaking the whole cover has to be removed and re-sealed. If your front crankshaft seal is leaking that can be replaced without removing the timing cover.

Thanks for the tutorial. Quick question : how do you know that you're at TDC on the compression stroke and not on the exhaust stroke (overlap) ?

Ypu can look at the lobes to see if their up both cams so you know all 4 valves are closed. They'll be up and inboard at about a 45

Didn't quite get the chain tightening trick with cranking the stalled camshafts. The right way to do it is loosen the cam sprockets, and then release the tensioner. The chain then will be tightened properly, and after that you tighten the cam sprockets.

Make 100% sure you’re using the correct pin. They have two different lengths. Also, make sure to screw it in all the way. Once you make sure of those two things, get the crankshaft to stop on that pin - and then if you need to adjust the balancer, go ahead and loosen it up and adjust it to match that bolt hole.

If you use clips or small portions of the video integrated into your video, that’s OK.

You did it wrong. Keep the nut on the sprockets loose enough so they can spin, put the cams in position with the timing tool, now install your tensioner and guides, now put the chain on, and then release the tensioner. With the sprockets lose they can move and the chain will be tight. Now you can torq the sprockets to their spec. Never try to move the cams with the cam tool in place.

all over timing yet not a peep about crank sensor placement or toothcount to settting, ????????????????
