What exactly do you need to know about replacing the timing chain? Also you should note that the L200 (4 cyl) has a timing chain. The L300 (V-6) has a timing belt.
Another thing to note is that both of these are interference engines. If your timing chain (or belt) has failed and the engine will not start, the valves are likely bent and you may have damaged the pistons as well.
There is no timing adjustment.
Are you replacing the timing chain?
If so did you set everything before you pulled off the old chain?
If the old chain broke you bent valves almost gauranteed!
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!
Replacing the timing chains on this engine is no cake walk and I would not recommend it to anyone unless they are very experienced technicians. There is a specialty Ford tool, part number 303-645, that is used to set the crankshaft while the timing chain is being replaced. You will need another Ford tool, part number 303-530, which is used to lock the cam shafts in place in order to prevent rotation. There are other tools needed, but they are for other aspects of the same job. You can not just set the engine to TDC and work with it from there because of the VVT system and general nature of the engine. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Regards, TXTEXAN
complex job chains have coloured links to line up with gears and a set number of links between timing marks, best get a manual or a professional to do job
Setting the camshaft timing isnecessary whenever the camshaft drive system has been disturbed,meaning the relationship between any chain and sprocket has been lost.Correct timing exists when the crankshaft and intermediate shaftsprocket timing marks are in alignment and all 4 camshaft drive pinsare perpendicular (90 degrees) to the cylinder head surface.
degrees) to the cylinder head surface.
I hope this helps, if not let me know
