I replaced the right side head on my 2001 mustang gt and i need to know how to set up the timming so it will run right

Hi, this engine user copper links on the chain align the copper links with the marks shown on the diagram below. Please let me know if you have more questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

To install:

1. Compress the timing chain tensioner plunger in a soft jaw vise and install a retaining clip to hold the plunger in place.
2. Remove the tensioner.
3. If the copper links are not visible on the timing chains, mark one link on each end of the chain.
4. Install the left and right timing chain guides and tighten the bolts to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm).
5. Position the lower end of the left timing chain on the crankshaft sprocket, aligning the copper link with the timing mark on the outer flange of the crankshaft sprocket.
6. Position the timing chain on the left camshaft sprocket with the camshaft sprocket timing mark aligned with the copper link.
7. Position the left timing chain tensioner arm on the dowel pin and install the timing chain tensioner. Tighten the bolts to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm).
8. Remove the retaining clip from the tensioner plunger.
9. Position the lower end of the right timing chain on the crankshaft sprocket, aligning the copper link with the timing mark on the outer flange of the crankshaft sprocket.
10. Position the timing chain on the right camshaft sprocket with the camshaft sprocket timing mark aligned with the copper link.
11. Position the left timing chain tensioner arm on the dowel pin and install the timing chain tensioner. Tighten the bolts to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm).
12. Remove the retaining clip from the tensioner plunger.
13. Ensure correct alignment of all timing chain links and sprocket timing marks.
14. Install the camshaft roller followers and tighten the camshaft sprocket bolts. See the procedure under Camshaft.
15. Install the crankshaft sensor ring on the crankshaft.
