Timing is sharply set, and a mistake may cause grave engine damage, so, this task should be performed by professionals only. Starting with this, get a hold of the negative battery terminal followed by blocking the rear wheels then engaging the parking break. Loose the right front wheel lug nuts, lift the car and then remove the right front wheel. The next procedures include the removal of engine splash shields and drive belts, and spark plugs. Fourth, take out the water pump pulley bolts and the
Crankshaft Pulley while getting the crankshaft to at least slightly lock in position by fitting a screwdriver into teeth of the ring gear and the engine block. Take off the timing belt casing and ensure that the crankshaft and camshaft sprocket alignment is correct. If the timing belt is being reused, sprockets and belt need to be aligned again by marking. Release the tension of the timing belt tensioner, and consequently, take out the timing belt as well as inspect the condition of the tensioner and the idler pulleys. Even if the belt looks fine, Ford recommends checking for either wear or harm; were any harm found, the timing belt should be replaced. For installation remove the marker, crankshaft will be on TDC while the camshaft timing sprocket is aligned. Thereafter replace the timing belt under the crankshaft sprocket and make sure that it correctly engages on all the relevant sprockets, also making sure that the belt tension is correct. When confirming all the alignment marks, replace the timing belt covers, crankshaft pulley, and water pump pulley before joining the negative terminal of the battery.
