Exactly!

Glad it was helpful!

you will need to talk to the engeneers at ford to figure that out

i said the same thing today. like wtf?

How do you suppose the cams would be perfectly clocked so that you can mark them where you want and have the crankshaft sit there perfectly timed while bisecting six angles? A single angle doesn't exist across all six planes simultaneously on a "V" engine configuartion. You are forgetting or ignoring the purpose of the procedure is not to line up the timing, it is the removal of the chains with all the valves closed. You are lining up a neutral position on five shafts with a total of six axis, with dual overhead cams with variable valve timing- so all 24 cam lobes and the crankshaft line up with all the valves closed at the same time, and you think you can just pick a spot to mark on the cam and crank pulleys that will happen to be right? Good luck. If you stop and think you will realize the set up is so brilliant and well thought out that you do not have to go out and buy an additional special tool or use vise grips on the camshafts to hold them in place to protect the valves. Be an engineer if you want. No one is stopping you. If you can do better, do it. Otherwise, follow the directions. If you aren't following the simple logic I have written here, you have no place in this field of repair. And, take your own advices, go meet and speak with an engineer. All the ones I have met wrenched on cars for three years or more while studying, before starting to study the engineering of the thing, and they are all wicked smart. Ask them in person why you pull some bolts that cannot be backed out all the way without hitting something else. You might be surprised at the very simple answer.

DID YOU FIND THE PROBLEM?

Thank you!

Yes it's in the video

you need a service manual

its from Ford

you shouldn't need to change them the chains and tensioners should last the life of the engine according to Ford

That's not what I asked! According to Ford trans fluid is lifetime to don't believe it.

WHICH FAN?

In a relation perpendicular to the surface (flat) position of the block and each of the heads. The perpendicular line would mark the 12 o'clock for each.

no

Ford

it is hard on the tensioners

The '9-'12 don't have the threaded puller holes but they look set up for a standard 3 jaw puller.

Take the timing chains off and spin the engine until it hits the valves. And after it touches, get a breaker bar and turn the engine over 360 degrees.

because you will have valve to piston contact when you remove the chains the spring pressure will cause the cams to move and jam a valve into a piston the procedure I demo here is directly from Fords service manual the Factory does not lay out these procedures for no reason this kind of stuff is important with OHC engines

Did you ever figure it out? What all did you have to take off to get it off?

I have done this job 3 times with the engine in the car. It is obviously a tight job , but it can be done 👍

@@simonmoffat4629 I'm about to do a set of head gaskets on an '07 Fusion. Any suggestions or advice to avoid any "Oh no..." moments? ~Rust Belt Warrior

@@Ignivomous How did it go? Did you have to resurface the heads?
