how to install camshaft synchronizer in explorer

Very important question here, Do you actually put a screwdriver inside the COMBUSTION CHAMBER through the opening of spark plug #1!? It seems like an 'AY CARAMBA' moment when I heard it since I've always heard nothing goes in there. Here, What did you mean by 'bump over the motor' until you can feel air blow out of the hole? Is it to twist the main crank of the motor and force an engine cycle in order to put #1 cyl on top? Yes Your explanation is AWESOME!! and I mean TOTALLY AWESOME!! I just happen to have a hard time understanding some things I would like to remark on to make sure:

It is too long to explain everytime.Īnd to go straight to the point, I have a couple of questions on your post SHINERSTANG that I really wanna quote and hope you or someone else may respond to it. The magnet on the sensor itself will acknowledge that the pin just went bye.Ĭrap, we need to sticky this too. Maybe your syn/sensor was located at 8 o'clock when you took it out, and now it is at the 4 o'clock position? It doesn't matter where it ends up as long as the steps were followed to tell sensor that it is okay to fire the #1 injector as it comes to TDC and the pin is in the middle of the window. It does not matter where the synchronizer lines up in relation where it used to be, it only matters when the cylinder is at TDC, and the pin is in the middle of the window. You can rotate it anywhere at this point, just make sure you can put the sensor on afterwards. Before you tighten the bolt to the synchronizer down, make sure the metal piece(pin) is sticking up is exactly in the middle of the window where your sensor goes. Then turn the motor very slowly with a screwdriver in the #1 cylinder until you just feel the piston come to rest up top, and just before you feel it going down. Take a 21mm socket and put it on the crank pulley.

This is the point where you need to stop. (did that before, not fun, i hate shocks) Have a buddy bump over the motor until you can feel air blow out of the hole. Disconnect the plug on the coilpack so you won't get jolted when you take off the plug wire on the #1 cylinder. Double check the ensure the car won't start by listening to see if the pump kicks on when you turn the key on. Take out your fuel pump fuse in the PDI box.
