Installation

1. Compress the tensioner plunger, using an edge of a vise.

CAUTION: Do not compress the cachet assembly. This will damage the rachet assembly.





2. Using a small screwdriver or pick, push back and hold the ratchet mechanism.





3. While holding the ratchet mechanism, push the ratchet arm back into the tensioner housing.





4. Install a paper clip into the hole in the tensioner housing to hold the ratchet assembly and plunger in during installation.





5. If copper links are not visible, mark two links on one end and one link on the other end, and use as timing marks.





6. Install the timing chain guides.





7. Position the crankshaft with the Crankshaft Holding Tool, and remove the tool.





8. Install the inner crankshaft sprocket with the long hub facing outward.





9. Install the inner timing chain/belt on the crankshaft sprocket with the timing marks aligned.





10. Install the timing chain/belt on the camshaft sprocket with the two chain links and timing marks aligned.

NOTE: Be sure the upper half of the timing chain/belt is below the tensioner guide dowel. If necessary, use the Camshaft Positioning Tool to adjust.





11. Install the outer crankshaft sprocket and timing chain/belt with the long hub of the crankshaft sprocket facing inward.

CAUTION: The camshaft sprocket can jump time if the Camshaft Holding Tool is not secured.

NOTE:
- Be sure the chain link and crankshaft sprocket timing marks are aligned.
- The lower half of the timing chain/belt must be positioned above the dowel.

12. Position the timing chain/belt on the camshaft sprocket. Make sure the two copper-colored links align with the camshaft sprocket timing mark.





13. Check for proper alignment of all timing marks.





14. Position the LH and RH timing chain tensioner arms on the dowel pins. Position the timing chain tensioners and install the bolts.





15. Remove the retaining pins from the RH and LH timing chain tensioners





16. Remove the Camshaft Holding Tools from the camshafts.





17. Install the crankshaft sensor ring on the crankshaft.
18. Lubricate the balance shaft journals with engine oil.
- Use Super Premium SAE 5W30 Motor Oil XO-5W30-QSP or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C153-G





19. Position the balance shaft on the journals.





20. Align the balance shaft timing marks as shown.





21. Install the bearing caps, the bolts and tighten the bolts in the sequence shown.





22. Apply a bead of silicone along the cylinder head-to-block surface and the oil pan-to-block surface.
- Use Silicone Gasket and Sealant F6AZ-19562-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSE-M4G323-A6.

NOTE:
- The timing chain/belt is removed for clarity.
- If not secured within 4 minutes, sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with solvent. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes", whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

23. Install engine timing cover.
