Timing marks

Hey Jeff,

I found this information for you.

Remove the engine front cover. For additional information, see ENGINE FRONT COVER.

Raise the vehicle.

Remove the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and the torque converter cover.

NOTE: There is one window on the ignition pulse wheel that is unique to accept the special tool.
Install the special tool.
Turn the crankshaft to 45 degrees ATDC. The crankshaft keyway will be in the 6 o'clock position.
Install the special tool.

CAUTION: An open-end wrench must be used on the flats of the camshaft or damage to the head will occur.
Loosen the exhaust camshaft sprocket bolt.

Installation

Reset the timing chain tensioners.
Hold the lever toward the tensioner piston.
Using finger pressure, compress the tensioner.
Push the lever down and install a drill rod to lock the piston.

NOTE: The camshaft holding tool should still be installed on the LH cylinder head.
Position the LH timing chain and crankshaft gear.
Position the timing chain over the LH intake camshaft sprocket.
Position the crankshaft gear in the timing chain.
Position the timing chain and crankshaft gear over the crankshaft as an assembly.

NOTE: The exhaust camshaft sprocket bolt must be fully tightened before tightening the intake camshaft sprocket bolt.
Using the special tool, apply 10 Nm (89 lb-in) counterclockwise to the LH exhaust camshaft sprocket and tighten the camshaft sprocket bolts in two stages.
Stage 1: Tighten to 20 Nm (15 lb-ft).
Stage 2: Tighten an additional 90 degrees.

Please let us know happens so it will help others.

Best, Ken

Here are the instruction to remove the timing cover, the marks are in the post above. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.

That is what I would recommend. I can't believe there are no marks. There may be a special tool or something. Ford has several of those.

Have a good Thanksgiving, and let me know how things go.
Joe

Hello,

CAUTION:Rotating the crankshaft in a counterclockwise direction may cause engine damage. Crankshaft journals are directionally machined. Rotating the crankshaft counterclockwise can raise burrs on bearing surfaces, reducing engine life. Verify that the crankshaft keyway is in the nine o'clock position.

Caution:The crankshaft key-way must remain in the nine o'clock position until the cams are located, or damage to the valves may occur. Rotate the left hand and right hand intake and exhaust camshafts to locate them in their neutral positions.
