Nope, this engine is timed on the exhaust stroke.

I suggest getting your wits about yourself. Not all 4.0 are the same. There is a bolt inside rear head alongside chain that will not let lower sprocket and chain out. The balancer has another possible balancing option. At opposite end from gear there is a hole in the balancer shaft. This hole lines up with thru hole on mounting bracket at same end. Two holes at that end line up and at gear end a single dot is your marker. This is where 7:1 turn ratio comes into play. Lock this baby down. Find top dead center and lock everything, lock the flywheel. You will need much patience.

The chain marks will only align during the installation. That reference is lost once you start rotating. The chain marks will eventually realign, but it may take hundreds of rotations to achieve it.

You will need to remove the exhaust phasers on each bank to replace the chains. The intake phasers can be left on. The cams may move some when the chains are removed, but not if you have the cam locking tools installed.

When you position the crankshaft sprocket mark at 4 o'clock you are putting the cylinders in the correct position for timing. If the marks will not all position correctly at the same time, focus on getting the crank at 4 with the camshafts as close as possible before you teardown.

Good stuff brother. Not a fan of using an impact on the oil valves. But concise, and well explained. The community needs more videos on this. Sick and tired of the lifters and rockers is all you need mentality. I had to replace the entire chain drive, one phaser, two cams, and I replaced all 4 oil control valves on my Ram C/V. Has 140k on the clock. I had the tick, but also had a wicked cold start rattle. Main culprit was a tensioner, but I did have a wonky phaser on its last leg.

11 o’clock 1 o’clock and 4 o’clock is all I need to line up to replace timing chain? The colored links don’t mean squat?
@Cloyes01Ай бұрын
The marked chain links are the most important thing to pay attention to. They must be aligned to the sprocket marks for the engine to be in time. The positions of the sprocket timing marks (11, 1, & 4 o'clock) are just the recommended starting positions that will help the chain installation process.

@Cloyes012 ай бұрын
We recommend tools when they are absolutely necessary. Most modern engines, like this one, rely on the timing chains to set timing. Precise static shaft location is not critical, you still must align your chain and sprocket marks. Cam lock tools can make a job marginally easier, but they are not necessary for a professional installation.

Some applications will use a unique intake phaser, Cloyes # VC106 which is marked as the intake phaser. In those apps the VC107 will be the exhaust phaser. In other applications GM used the same phaser on both banks. These apps use two of the VC107 phasers, one on the intake camshaft and one on the exhaust cam. So the VC107 will not be marked with "exhaust" or "intake" because it is used on both cams in some vehicles.

Do not use a punch and go thru that spot in the camshaft pulse plate to get the phasers off, the bolts for the phasers are usually tight asf and you’ll just snap the key way off. Literally am losing on a job cause I did it the way these guys did it. Use a wrench in the camshaft as leverage to break the phaser bolts loose. Simple as that.

Cloyes timing chains are garbage. My wife called me today and said her 2013 F-150 EcoBoost quit running while it was sitting there idling in the driveway. I went out and took a look at it, the engine cranked but had no compression. Pulled the valve covers off and found the primary timing chain missing on the driver bank and off the sprocket on the passenger bank. I was able to pull the chain out of the engine through the top because it was broken. One of the links had failed and upon further inspection, I found about half the links had a very concerning amount of play in them, and the other half were tight. I just replaced all the timing components on this engine 16 months / 10,000 miles ago, along with a Melling high volume oil pump. The chain showed no signs of lack of lubrication or damage from a foreign object. That engine ran beautifully and now it is ruined. And of course, Cloyes will not cover the cost of any parts or repairs other than the cost of their garbage chain. I will never, ever buy another Cloyes product.

Your warranty is cover by the vendor that you purchase the components from. Most major parts stores offer the lifetime warranty along with labor claim programs that will help pay for damages if the parts are found to be at fault. Check with your vendor to see what kind of coverage they offer and if you would qualify to file a labor claim if necessary.
