Timing Drive Components: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Install the LH and RH camshafts.
    • Lubricate the camshaft and camshaft journals with clean engine oil prior to installation.
    2. NOTE: LH shown, RH similar.
  2. Install the LH and RH camshaft bearing caps in their original locations.
    • Lubricate the camshaft bearing caps with clean engine oil.
    • Position the front camshaft bearing cap.
    • Position the remaining camshaft bearing caps.
    • Install the bolts loosely.
    • Tighten to 10 N.m (89 lb-in) in the sequence shown.

    CAUTION: Damage to the camshaft phaser sprocket assembly will occur if mishandled or used as a lifting or leveraging device.
    NOTE: LH shown, RH similar.
  3. Install the camshaft phaser sprockets and new camshaft phaser bolts finger-tight.

    CAUTION: Damage to the camshaft phaser sprocket assembly will occur if mishandled or used as a lifting or leveraging device.
    CAUTION: Only use hand tools to remove the camshaft phaser sprocket assembly or damage may occur to the camshaft or camshaft phaser unit.
    NOTE: LH shown, RH similar.
  4. Using the special tool, tighten the LH and RH camshaft phaser sprocket bolts in 2 stages.
    • Stage 1: Tighten to 40 N.m (30 lb-ft).
    • Stage 2: Tighten an additional 90 degrees.

    CAUTION: If one or both tensioner mounting bolts are loosened or removed, the tensioner-sealing bead must be inspected for seal integrity. Any cracks, tears, cuts or separation from the tensioner body, or permanent compression of the seal bead, will require replacement of the tensioner.
  7. Inspect the RH and LH timing chain tensioners.
    • Install new tensioners as necessary.
    8. CAUTION: Timing chain procedures must be followed exactly or damage to valves and pistons will result.
  8. Compress the tensioner plunger, using a vise.
