ASE Toyota technician here.......Watching this video makes me feel like im back in one of Toyotas demonstration rooms. This is as thourough instructions as I would see/hear when I was training.

this was the best video of setting the timing on a mazda I've ever seen. Thank you, well done.

Thank god I found this video before I attempted to pull the crankshaft pully!!! I could not find a thing about this anywhere, I was so very worried I would screw something up. You saved me soooo much heartache!!!

One of the best automotive instructional videos on KZfaq, your attention to detail is crystal clear, well done mate

I Never thought that, I can find such a detailed and much learning vedio on KZfaq. Thank you so much for taking out time and effort to make this vedio.

thank you very much for your tutorials on Mazda 3/Ford engine timing settings. Your clarity is perfect. Please keep it up.

My man, 50 grand! And that still won't be enough to pay for this priceless tutorial. Thank u sir.

Thank you so much for making these timing videos! They were an invaluable tool that helped me get timing chains replaced. I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks again buddy!

Thanks for detail explanation of the tools used. Very helpful to see how the counter weight and pin come in contact

Perfect explained thanks nobody explained so clear,👌👌👌👌

Great video, and you are right very little info online on this timing issue thanks for taking the time to explain everything.

Thanks a lot Sr, so far the best explained video on timming mazda engines.

Thank you so much for the video i didnt understand the timing at all its nothing like alot of cars God Bless you you rock man!

Thanks for being so details, I thought 30 minutes was too long,but it is worth it, this can save me 3 days of work or even damage my engine, thanks so much, great job

Boy you go into great detail. If I had this engine there would be no question as to how time it correctly! You explain things well, great job.

Excellent video series and explanation - I learned a lot. Thank you. Paul (in MA)

You really helped me out ! I noticed vibration at high rpms and it turned out to be Harmonic balancer. A little research told me it was a much bigger job than i thought. Without your help i would have messed it up. Thanks for taking the time to do this

Thanks man, I need to replace my timing chain soon on a ford 2.0, now I know exactly how to do it. Will save me heaps.

Thanks a million for this video. I'm in the process of resealing the engine on a 2015 Ford Escape with this 2.5 engine and I made the horrible mistake of removing the crankshaft pulley without finding TDC or marking anything. It's been an entire day of digging through forums and random websites for this information but your video saved my life.

I want to thank you for this 4 part series. My 2016 Ford Fusion with the 2.5 jumped time and died at a stop sign. Thanks to this video series I completely understood what I was doing when I replaced the components using the All Data DIY manual. As it turns out, it jumped time because it was missing a friction washer between the crankshaft and the sprocket. With the M6 bolt in the pulley hole the cams lined up but the engine was still another 10-15 degrees from hitting the TDC peg. I’m surprised that the engine didn’t blow up. One tip I have is to definitely use the flats on the camshaft that look like a bolt to keep it from rotating while torquing the gears down.

Hey man thanks alot. The manual was difficult to under stand on this procedure but now it all clicks and actually is my favorite engine to time.

Excellent training video, great job. I truly learned a lot. Thank You,!!!

Man you just explained a he'll of a lot. Better than any vid. Good job

Love this series, sir! Keep up the good work.

I had the crank position trigger wheel come loose on a 2013 C Max. I zipped the balancer off, and “Oh no...there’s no key way.” Very helpful video, especially pointing out that without the balancer installed, the chain doesn’t move. Thank you for the fantastic explanation!

I changed the crankshaft seal due to what I thought was a leak in Ford Escape 2012 2.5L . Misaligned the balancer without knowing the info you just provided and got a misfire in cylinder one and check engine light with codes P0016 & P052a. This video is very informative and helpful!!

Excellent video, it helps me fix my Ford fusion timing thank you

Thank you!! 3 step timing only video I could find!!

Absolutely Excellent video sir. Much respect to you. Thank you

thank your video help me today i am working on 2012 ford transit 2.0 timming chain cover in california

whatched it in double speed and soaked all the information in. Thank you for being so through

I'm glad I watched this great video. I watched your #1 and #2 video and I was so confused when you were turning the crank and the timing chain and cams weren't moving. :)

Great information. Thanks for posting. Very helpful

Thanks for the real video very detailed and right on point never seen a video so professionally done 👍 thanks for the effort the you put in this video is the best .

Very professional explanation! Thank you so much for being clear with you explanation :)

I had the same deal with the washers. My 2005 2.0l doesn't call for the crank washers, only the cam sprocket washers. Mazda told me the crank washers were only used in the 2.3 turbo engines. I said fine, order the ones for the 2.3 and I'll put them in. For me, its worth it to have that bit of extra holding power for that crank sprocket.

thank you dear... this is most usefull video .... and is best tutorial on timing for both cars.mazda/ford ..i love it

Thank you boss man thanks to you I finally got it wish I had seen this video sooner

Thank you for explaining me and helping me set the timing in a 2008 FORD FUSION 2.3L GOD bless you

Best explanation so far

Thanks! This had a lot of useful info!

Love your videos mr. 😎

great video. thanks for taking the time to explain in detail.

This series has been very informative and helpful. The only recommendation I have is a "table of contents" in the description with links to video sections. I wanted to reference a specific part again and I kept missing it skipping around. Thank you.

Thank you very much sir..this is so helpful video..

Thanks so much! Definitely great video! I had to swap the engine in my 09 fusion. Me not know this engine had no key way, I removed the pulley to get the engine in easier. Put it all back together and runs rough/won’t start. Tried all these different things as I was getting a p2004 code. Finally had enough and brought it to the shop. $500 later they told me the timing is likely off. Did some reading and it makes sense. Very strange engine. So thank you!

Absolutely terrific video

Very good video and information help I lot tanks I will fix Mazda mx5 tomorrow.

Thank you so much. You answered all the questions I had and some I didn't know to ask. I plan to replace the timing chain etc on my 2009 Ford ranger 2.3L (137K miles). Now I feel confident that I can do this myself. The only thing is that I'm not sure that I will change the diamond washers. I think that I probably will. If I go that far I might as well go all the way and change them too. But, I'll have to wait for good weather as I will be working under my shade tree.

I can't believe anyone could put a thumbs down on this video. This is the most educational video I found on this engine timing system. I found this video to be the most helpful of any help I got on this timing job. I even went to the local Ford dealership and looked on their computer and couldn't find this much accurate information. Thank you for taking time to explain and demonstrate the timing complexities of this engine. I do have a question. If I never took the timing chains off and only removed the pulley but moved the crank and cams out of sync with each other ,because I had no idea about their ability to move separately. Can I get this engine back in time? Also do you think the engine is damaged do to trying to start out of time?

Great tutorial brotha.

love your explanation!

Thank you mister Mazda I love this video omg is one of the best master tech videos I ever found Thank you mister😮😮

Thank you👍🔧 this engine has me scratching my head on why they designed it lile this

Stumbled across this video last night. I’m building a 2.5l for my MX5. Watches this and though I had the bar in at the top and the engine has never been opened I found the pin was not in contact with the balance weight. So seems it’s been out from the factory. Thanks for the great video!

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL ! THANKS SO MUCH !

Спасибо 🙏 Это лучшее видео по теме. Вы лучший !

Awesome video ty very much sir!!!!!

Wow, nicely done, thank you!

Ganz prima erklärt, danke dafür!!! 😜👍

Thanks for leaving out the final step of torqueiing the pulley bolt.

Thank you, You just got rid of a big headache for me trying to figure out this problem I had w/my engine, took it to a few mechanics had it plugged in the computer and still they couldn't figure out, all 3 mechanics told me crank position sensor is bad, but I knew that was not the problem the only thing I did was removed the crankshaft pulley to reseal the timing plate. Again thank you for all the xtra info

Great video very descriptive and all correct information. As for the diamond coated washer its only to be used on late model gears. Newer or after market gears are laser etched and should not use a diamond washer between the gear and crankshaft. As far as between the crank pulley and gear still haven't found a definite answer. Great video again really helped explain it to others thanks again.

thanks this really helped me out

excellent video

Very helpful You mention that if the time is off you can head a knock in the engine, I have the head rectified and after putting back together starting to have a knock coming from the cylinder

Very helpful , first time iv come across this keyless setup ,and as you say ,the manual is all but useless . Im working on a MAZDA1.8 RF with the same setup, SO thanks a bundle.

On Mazda 2.3 liter Turbo Engines there are 2 marks , one on the cam sprocket one on the VVT that must be aligned at the 12 o clock position before the chain is installed ( with the plate holding the cams in place after TDC was set

Very Good Video -- THANKS !!

Thanks a lot 4 your information..

All killer, no filler!

Excelent video!!

These videos are amazing. I will be timing my 2.3 ecoboost soon enough and these helped me alot :) One thing i noticed is where you put you little flag pole in cyl 1 you called it, is actually cyl 4 on my ecoboost engine.

Excellent, thank you

Great explanantion!

how, this is nice. I am working on 2015 2.5L fusion. I lost the timing because I removed engine to fix it but I didn't know if we make the crank pulley bolt lose we lost timing, now I have idling problems, ill fix it tomorrow thanks for your video sr.

Thank you for making these videos, my wife has an 05 Mazda 6 2.3 the rubber in the harmonic balancer wore out and put the car out of time while driving I was wondering if I should get another 2.3 engine to replace the bad one

I'm putting those tools on my "to buy" list!

Tank you man god bless you.

that was dope thanks

Were I can find the valve cover grommets? For 01 Ford ranger 2.3

excelent video

very good thank you

I have an issue of some sort. Lining up the I and E on the cam gears, the grooves on the end of the cams are vertical. Its a 03.5 msp. The number 1 lobes are facing out.

Thanks so much!!!

thank you sir.

Hi mate, will the car still start if the timing is not perfectly accurate ? Manage to adust the timing but the vehicle seems to shake and noisier than before when started ? also getting p351 error too ?

Yes, if the timing is a bit off the car will still start and run, but it will run poorly. That is what happened to me. If you have the timing set correctly and the car isn't running right then something else is wrong. Your code P0351 is an ignition fault code so you need to start your diagnosis with that in mind. Good luck!

Hi sir followed ur video on how to do timing on a ford escape 2.3L engine closely, after that when I start it runs for few seconds a red triangle appears and it shuts down.any help what this can be?I got a ford escape hybride 2008 2.3L.thanks

would this procedure cover the 2.5L in the 2017 ford fusion ?

How are the pistons not hitting the valves when he does a full turn?

I like the video but I feel I should point out that you should also keep the oil pump and balance shaft assy in time with the crankshaft so as to not end up with a vibration

good job

WILL this work for my 2.5 v6 mazda mpv 2000?

GREAT video series! Out of curiosity, where did you buy your particular timing tools/kit from? Also, do you know if the 2.3 out of a '06 Mazda3 an interference or non interference engine? I've read a lot of conflicting statements online, but have yet to find anything concrete.

I need a tool for holding the keyless crankshaft pulley in place on my 2012 ford edge 2.0L. My old keyless crankshaft rubber tore so the outer pulley spin freely from the inner section.

Did a timing cover swap but didn't know how to align my timing sensor until I read about the 9th tooth.I just put it back where I thought it was before I removed it. Is there info on how to put the sensor in the right spot.my car runs fine but seems to search a little at Idle.Thanks for your videos
