Ford E7TZ-6268-A Timing Belt

To take off the timing chain(s), just disconnect the negative battery cable, and place the number one cylinder at TDC. Remove parts to access the timing chain cover then, detach the cover together with camshaft roller followers. Use camshaft holding tools to prevent movement. Then remove the right side timing chain tensioner, followed by the right timing chain and stationary guide. Repeat for the left side teeth, guides, chains keys wear or damage replace any defective parts. After that, you should inspect the tensioner operation and oil feed too as well tooth condition of the sprocket. However, this is only applicable when installing install stationary chain guides during installation and aligning crankshaft sprockets properly. The left time chain should be installed on the camshaft sprocket while aligning the bright link with the dimple then loop it under the crankshaft sprocket. Also, you should line up timing marks and repeat for the right side of the engine vehicle.

Rotate the crankshaft as necessary to position piston no. 1 at TDC and the crankshaft keyway at the 12 o'clock position.

Slide the vibration damper into position, install the damper, and then install the vibration damper retaining bolt and washer. Torque the bolt to the specified value. Note that this bolt may be used to push the damper onto the crankshaft if the proper installation tool is not available.

Inspect the tensioner face for excessive wear. If wear is excessive, replace the tensioner.

If the deflection of the timing chain exceeds 1/2-inch during inspection, it's recommended to install a new timing chain and sprockets.

Align the bright link with the dimple on the camshaft, loop the timing chain under the crankshaft sprocket, and align the bright link with the alignment mark on the crankshaft sprocket.
