Note. Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as instructed in this procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if the pulley bolt is loosened. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can occur.

Note. During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material (including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces) that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan can cause engine failure.

1. NOTE: If any new parts are being installed (cylinder head, valves, tappets, camshafts) it is necessary to check the valve clearance, follow the next 10 steps exactly or serious damage to the engine may occur. If the original parts are being installed it is not necessary to check the valve clearance so proceed to step 11 . Place a paint mark on the crankshaft at the 12 o'clock position.
2. Remove the Special Tool: Timing Peg, Crankshaft TDC 303-507.
3. NOTE: Rotating the crankshaft will position all of the pistons below the deck of the cylinder block and allow the camshafts to be installed and the valve clearance checked without the possibility of damage to the valves or pistons. Using the crankshaft bolt and washer, rotate the crankshaft clockwise 270 degrees until the paint mark is at the 9 o'clock position.
4. NOTE: Failure to follow the camshaft tightening procedure can result in damage to the camshafts. NOTE: Lubricate the camshaft journals and camshaft bearing caps with clean engine oil. Apply the specified lubricant to the specified component. Material: Motorcraft® SAE 5W-20 Premium Synthetic Blend Motor Oil. Install the camshafts and bearing caps in their original location and orientation. Tighten in the sequence shown in illustration in 3 stages.

Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance of each valve and record its location. Repeat to measure all of the lobe/tappet clearances.
6. NOTE: Select tappets using this formula: ideal tappet thickness = measured clearance + the existing tappet thickness - nominal clearance. Select the closest tappet size to the ideal tappet thickness available and mark the installation location. NOTE: The nominal clearance is: intake: 0.25 mm (0.0095 in). exhaust: 0.36 mm (0.0142 in). NOTE: The acceptable clearances after being fully installed are: intake: 0.19-0.31 mm (0.007-0.012 in). exhaust: 0.30-0.42 mm (0.012-0.017 in).

2. Install the camshafts. Refer to «CAMSHAFTS»(ref-569568-S07682906502013072700000) .

Note. Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as instructed in this procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if the pulley bolt is loosened. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can occur.

Note. During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material (including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces) that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan may cause engine failure.

Note. Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as instructed in this procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if the pulley bolt is loosened. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can occur.

Note. During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material (including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces) that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, can cause engine failure.

11. NOTE: Failure to position the No. 1 piston at Top Dead Center (TDC) can result in damage to the engine. Turn the engine in the normal direction of rotation only. Using the crankshaft pulley bolt, turn the crankshaft clockwise to position the No. 1 piston at Top Dead Center (TDC). The hole in the crankshaft pulley should be in the 6 o'clock position.
12. NOTE: The Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg will contact the crankshaft and prevent it from turning past TDC. However, the crankshaft can still be rotated in the counterclockwise direction. The crankshaft must remain at the TDC position during disassembly. Install the Special Tool(s): Timing Peg, Crankshaft TDC 303-507.
13. NOTE: The Camshaft Alignment Plate is for camshaft alignment only. Using this tool to prevent engine rotation can result in engine damage. NOTE: The camshaft timing slots are offset.

Install the Special Tool(s): Alignment Plate, Camshaft 303-465 (T94P-6256-CH).
14. NOTE: The crankshaft must remain in the TDC position during removal of the pulley bolt or damage to the engine can occur. Therefore, the crankshaft pulley must be held in place with the Crankshaft Damper Holding Tool and the bolt should be removed using an air impact wrench (1/2-in drive minimum). Special Tool(s): Holding Tool, Crankshaft Damper 303-1416. Use a suitable 1/2-in drive hand tool to hold the crankshaft pulley tool. Use an air impact wrench to remove the crankshaft pulley bolt. Discard the specified component. Follow local disposal regulations.
15. NOTE: The crankshaft sprocket diamond washer may come off with the crankshaft pulley. The diamond washer should be cleaned and inspected for any damage. If damage is evident, replace the diamond washer. If no damage, the diamond washer is to be reused during installation. If the diamond washer is not installed, engine damage may occur. If the diamond washer did not come off with the crankshaft pulley, remove the diamond washer.
16. NOTE: Use care not to damage the engine front cover or the crankshaft when removing the seal. Discard the specified component. Follow local disposal regulations. Special Tool(s): Remover, Oil Seal 303-409
17. General Equipment: Small Pick, Holding Pin. Using a small pick, release the hold the ratchet mechanism. While holding the ratchet mechanism in the released position, compress the tensioner by pushing the timing chain arm toward the tensioner. Insert a holding pin into the hole to retain the tensioner.
18. NOTE: The Camshaft Alignment Plate is for camshaft alignment only. Using this tool to prevent engine rotation can result in engine damage. NOTE: Using the flats on the camshaft to prevent camshaft rotation.
19. NOTE: Remove and discard the crankshaft sprocket diamond washer located behind the crankshaft sprocket. NOTE: The oil pump chain sprocket must be held in place.
20. Remove the Special Tool(s): Alignment Plate, Camshaft 303-465 (T94P-6256-CH).
21. NOTE: Failure to follow the camshaft loosening procedure can result in damage to the camshafts. NOTE: Mark the location and orientation of each camshaft bearing cap. NOTE: Mark the location of the camshafts prior to removal. Loosen one turn at a time. Repeat until all the tension is released.
22. NOTE: If the camshafts and valve tappets are to be reused, mark the location of the valve tappets to make sure they are assembled in their original positions. NOTE: The number on the valve tappets only reflects the digits that follow the decimal. For example, a tappet with the number 0.650 has the thickness of 3.650 mm.
23. Visual check.
24. Discard the specified component. Follow local disposal regulations.
