Timing Chain, Ford Mondeo Mk3 2L Duratec. Thought i would check out what kind of a job the timing chain is to replace. In the car its tight and not a very nice job but i am surprised by the quality of the timing chain.

My mk4 petrol has done 141,000 miles and is whisper quiet, uses no oil and gets me 36mpg. The duratec is a Japanese designed engine that's got enough torque to pull in a high gear at lower speed. The v6 duratec is not so robust with many suffering head gasket failures. I had 2 mk1 v6 mondeos that both went the same way. My first was a v6 S.i and the second was a ghia x. The problem was with the waterpump that had the plastic impeller which would detach from the shaft which resulted in overheating. And once those v6 engines cook then head gasket failure is virtually inevitable. Weak spots on that engine were cylinders 3 and 5 that would eventually 'vent', both mine made a ticking noise that sounded like an exhaust leak. Very few if any problems with the 2.0 engine and is a good balance between power and economy. Great video by the way!

@@marinusapeldoorn6631 I had the clutch and flywheel done last year. The petrol version is a lot kinder to the flywheel than diesels which produce more torque. The one I had fitted was a brand called LUK. I changed the auxillary belt, idle pulley and tensioner, they have a long service interval of 150k miles! I changed the valve cover gasket too as there was a bit of oil that had leaked into spark plug ports 2 and 4. Usual wear and tear items like discs and pads and tyres etc too. Still has the original exhaust and cat though! Probably the most comfortable car I've ever driven.

@@simonjohnhinton1938 I bought mine at 80000 miles at a Ford dealership. Immaculate car but shock absorbers totally worn and major oil leak from right hand drive gear box oil seal, which had been able to be ignored by 3 different Ford dealers who maintained the car during the first 9 years of its life. The selling Ford dealer cleaned up the gear box and hoped I didn' t notice. However I did and the right hand horizontal drive shaft part had to be replaced because of not being round enough or being too rough on the surface, causing the oil seal to be broken again every time it was replaced under guarantee. Car is fine now, I had the shocks replaced by Bilstein B6. Would you be willing for a little technical experiment which is not too complicated, just out of technical curiosity?

Since I bought a mondeo mk4 duratec 2.0 a month ago for my wife to drive around the city, this video will help me to take care of the timing chain and the camshafts for checking the valve clearance. I'm planing to install LPG as well then this has to be checked quite often. I've seen stretched timing chains in this engines especially with LPG. If you ever have chance to make a video about Valve Clearance Adjustment in Duratec engines, please make it. Most people don't know they have to check Valve Clearance from time to time especially in high mileage cars and quite often when using LPG. Thanks for all your videos.

Quality work as ever. I'd agree that to do that with the engine still fitted would be almost impossible, especially trying to do the locking pins and crankshaft torque. FYI - The crankshaft pulley, the timing teeth works on the principal on one tooth missing. There was a full ring of time, equally spaced but where TDC is, there is one tooth missing. Some engines do one tooth missing the others do one singe tooth at TDC. I'm waiting on the next video where you pull apart the bottom end so that we can see some melted bearings :)

Man you just made things a lot better for what I have to do. I had the exhaust cam jump a couple teeth due to a mistake I made that I won't get into. The fact that the cam gears aren't keyed to the cams means I can just loosen the bolt on the exhaust cam, advance it back to the proper position with the intake cam, and then just retighten the bolt. Inspection camera showed no metal bits or damage to the pistons, whether I bent the exhaust valves is yet to be determined.

You can use a normal bolt instead of the pin, just put it at top dead center and then put the bolt in till it is up against the crank, it can't turn anymore than your bolt and its got more surface area so you don't have to worry about bending the pin when you mess with your pulley for the crank

I wish the timing cover was that design on the Puma oil burner of the same era. The diesel one is a bit of pressed tin. Impossible to get off without distorting as it has a bigger contact surface area to the block by the aircon compressor. And a nightmare to try and get off in the car. I had the pawl fail in the tensioner on my 54 plate @ about 110k miles. I got it before it jumped the timing. At idle with lower oil pressure the chain slopped around! Did the guides etc at the same time. Something gone again inside it now at 220K but its got other issues with the fuel system now. Sounds like a guide gone.There was quite a bit of chain stretch on it. Apart from the early swirl flaps and coil packs, they were a great engine with few weak points so long as you maintained them. This was the era when ford had money invested in Mazda.

Hi I’m amazed as a trainee looking at that crankshaft pulley having no key way hopefully that bolt that holds the pulley is torqued up really high because as you say the oil pump sprocket on the crank shaft is held in place by the compression of that bolt meaning a lose bolt could with the engine running allow the oil pump to free wheel and stop functioning. I’m really surprised fords allowed that? Great vids alan.

I believe that the crank harmonic balancer that carries the crank timing tabs and locks against the cam & oil pump chain sprocket should have a diamond washer that provides the locking action against the sprocket instead of a keyway system. That washer should be replaced along with the crank bolt as they are both single-use items. That diamond washer is shown in the top left corner (labeled 7) of the diagram at the beginning of the video.

My sealant of choice is Blue Hylomar... best sealant ever..!! I`m not surprised by the quality of the cam chain... this engine was a collaboration by Ford and Mazda. It looks like a variation of a HY-Vo chain that was used by Honda 4-Cyinder motorcycle engines of the `70`s (and possibly later) so, I`m guessing this was a Japanese invention now owned by Borg-Warner... can anyone add to this..??

Questions, questions and questions? when you insert the pin in the rear of the block, what is the length of the pin? I bought the kit on amazon for the timing belt, one of pins is 2 1/4 long in length. the other is 3 inch. - / +

Alan been scroling your vids looking for info by the way your vid are fantastic. I wonder if you could help me? I have a 1.6 tdci engine and the belt snapped what I'm finding hard to get the info on is where should the piston be when I time the crack. on my engine all pistons are level near the bottom and 2 and 3 are on there way up would this be right? thanks

hi, if you give me your reg number i can look up where your crank and camshaft sprockets should sit when you fit a new timing belt but generally pistons 1 and 4 would be near top dead centre and pistons 2 and 3 would be near the bottom of the cylinders

@@alan4x yeah thanks for the reply my reg is ML64 YPX, I've been told this of a few guys that 1 and 4 should be tdc. I came across a forum chat which was saying that the magnetic ring on the crack sprocket can come loose and spin round have you ever come across this ?

The intake manifold of that engine has 2 vaccum actuators. One is for the swirl flaps. What is the second one for?

Hi Alan, i was wondering if you would share your opinion on if it's worth changing the timing chain on the 2l in the fiesta st150 version (55 plate) as it's now done 150k miles, thankyou in advance.
