Mercury Lynx Timing Belt

The Timing Belt on your Mercury Lynx controls the crankshaft and camshaft. It ensures the valves open just as the pistons are moving, allowing for smoother power delivery. If the Timing Belt snaps, the pistons will strike the valves, costing you a fortune in repairs. Constructed from fiber reinforced rubber, this Timing Belt is designed to wrap around sprockets and remain taut with the help of an automatic tensioner and guiding idler pulleys that ensure ignition events take place in precise unison mile after mile. The original tooth design on the Lynx's early versions was straight, which contributed to them being replaced at a mileage of around 30,000 miles. However, upgrades to the tooth profile and materials doubled service life as the years went on. The example shows how Mercury focused on fine-tuning the durability of parts rather than just making them noisier or with more lubrication demands. Some engines allow the Timing Belt to also spin the water pump; a renewal pump and belt simultaneously is the wise single-service choice. Neglecting the service intervals may cause a snapped Timing Belt, which will instantly stall the car, and on interference designs, slam your pistons into the open valves. Every Mercury Lynx should be subjected to a regular inspection to check for cracks, missing teeth, fraying, or oil soak. Any one of these flaws means an immediate swap. Replacing worn tensioners and idlers alongside the new belt will ensure that the fourth Mercury Lynx's timing stays in perfect alignment.

    Q: How to replace the timing belt on Mercury Lynx?
    A:
    The manufacturer advises the replacement of the timing belt with a new one each time the tension is released or the belt is pulled out say in the water pump removal or replacement of the timing belt. This procedure should be done on cold engine and the timing belt tension should not be adjusted on a hot engine. Start with the removal of the battery negative cable, followed by the remover of the accessory drive belts and then the final remover of the timing belt cover. Turn the engine with the wrench on the crankshaft pulley bolt until the timing mark on the cam pulley mates with one on the cylinder head and look at the crank pulley mark to see if it's lined with the TDC mark on the cover before you start to remove the front cover. Subsequently pull out the starter and place the flywheel ring gear while securing its position with a screwdriver and pull out the crankshaft pulley bolt. Ease the belt tensioner-you can loosen its bolts and shift the tensioner to shift the tensioner to either side, and then tighten the bolts to freeze the tensioner in place-then remove the crankshaft pulley, timing belt. Place the new belt over the crankshaft in a clockwise manner over the pulleys so that the camshaft and crankshaft timing marks are sited and at the same time making the belt span as tight as possible. Detoeche the belt tensioner attaching bolts to enable the tensioner to snap over the belt, then tighten the tensioner's bolt, Mercer stresses. Replace the crankshaft pulley and bolt it to the specified torque, and using a screw driver through the opening of the starter engage the flywheel ring gear and re-fit the starter. Turn the crankshaft two full turns, but stop after the second turn once the crankshaft sprocket is again at TDC and ensure the cam sprocket in same position. Place the timing belt cover for 1989 and later models just to observe if the pulley and timing cover marks are aligned and to be extremely careful as any resistance when turning the crankshaft means you're 'out of time'. Connect the battery negative terminal and start the engine to settle the belt into place; remove the battery negative terminal. Correct the tension of the tightening torque of the timing belt tensioner bolt which was tightened in step 2 and for 1988 and earlier models, find an assistant to hold a wrench on the crankshaft bolt so that the crankshaft does not rotate whilst apply the tension to the timing belt using a torque wrench on the camshaft sprocket. For the later model vehicles of 1989 and after, turn the tensioner bolts counterclockwise to release the tension from the timing belt to make the tensioner to snap against the beltthen tighten the bolts, in a clockwise manner to a specified torque setting. Last but not the least, fit the timing belt cover, align the drive belts and reconnect the car's negative terminal of the battery.
