An excellent feature of this video is that the Cloyes technical support team shows how to time the engine properly without the use of the unnecessary camshaft holding tools. Most instructional guides and videos will suggest the special tools are necessary and will show the installation using these tools. Our process saves the customer time and money while still ensuring a proper installation. When servicing the timing components on engines equipped with an internal water pump, Cloyes also recommends water pump replacement.

Master tech here with 32 years experience. First of all this is an awesome video with good clear instructions. I have watched many of Cloyes videos and used quite a few of their products over the years. I also am the owner of a high volume shop. The only thing that i might humbly add is that when the engine is in the vehicle and has not been apart since it's birth, those camshaft bolts are gonna be super tight and require a long breaker bar to get loose. It is going to require some serious controlled torque. The holding tools are not necessary but are very useful after getting the bolts broke loose just before you wiggle the phasers off. I dont know why but it seems like the rear (while in the vehicle) exhaust camshaft likes to jump around off of the lobe. I install the holders just before i pull phasers off. I just use a cheap amazon set. I DO NOT use them to hold the cams while breaking bolts loose. This is not necessary like Cody said but it is helpful for me. I really appreciate the awesome videos and instructions from Cloyes.

Thanks for the video. I am replacing water pump on 2014 Explorer and following Alldata, Ford instructions, I waited to get the locks before removing chain. marking the chain and cam marks and could get the lock to slide down perfect on back cam but wouldn't quite set all the way down on front cams. I mean it held the cams in place but would not lock all the way down. After replacing pump that was bad, I could not seem to get everything to line up to the painted chain links I'd painted after aligning. so I spent the $90 on Cloyes center chain, and following this, as I was installing I had to back of a little on the front head. Turning the exhaust cam with a wrench with the cam lock almost, but not quite in position, the chain went on the mark and the cam lock fell right into place. Then when I came to lining up the crank pulley, it was a tooth off from where I'd painted original chain. So I have the cover and everything under back in place, mount and soon everything else.

He says you don't need the cam holding tool. BUY the Lisle tool 37200 and use it!!! or it's equivalent. The right-hand exhaust cam is prone to move. What happened to me is the phaser sat a little too long and lost enough oil to have free travel (there is an internal spring so it's not actually free travel but near enough) and the alignment dowel can fool you if you accidentally get the dowel in the channel. it felt good so I snugged it up regardless that the parallel flat surface on the cam and phaser drum were not aligned, I figured the difference was due to the loss of oil in the phaser, or perhaps the phaser was locked. Tying to get the alignment right so I could use the tool I had to unlock the phaser. Note: you will be holding a lot of loose parts trying to stab one drum then the other at the same time, for me I felt that familiar setting of the dowel when as I presume the dowel knocked against the edge of the recess, so when I applied pressure the cam moved I thought I had it. Note: when I got the tool and took it all apart to do it right this time I could see the indent the dowel made when I snugged the phaser up; I was way off. I hope I did not hurt this engine. I always turn one full turn and check for free travel. engine would not turn but a tiny bit and stop. I'm still not ready to start the engine but it feels good for two turns of the crank.

@Cloyes01 Жыл бұрын
The exact static locations of the shafts after installing the chain are not the critical frame of reference to determine if the engine is timed properly. Chain slack in the system can affect the shaft locations and all three shafts can end up rotated one way or the other when not using the locking tools. The timing chain sets the timing in this engine. The most important aspect of the install is to make sure the marked links of the chain are aligned properly to the sprocket timing marks. As long as your chain and sprocket marks are aligned, then the engine will be in time.

These chain systems are typically being replaced during water pump replacement (if you have the internal pump,) if you have an audible timing chain noise or rattle, or if the check engine light comes on for improper camshaft to crankshaft correlation. If you have no negative symptoms, and no check engine lights, then the timing system is still within spec. Once the chain(s) stretches outside of specification it will trigger the correlation codes.

Both primary tensioner styles have a ratcheting mechanism, they just work a little differently.

@@kevinwaterman3006 I would recommend pulling the spark plugs out and getting an idea of where the pistons are in each cylinder. You need to find a spot where all the pistons are down in the holes at least a little bit. You might need to rotate the crankshaft slightly one way or the other, just turn slowly and do not force anything. Once you find a good spot where there are no pistons at TDC, then you can rotate your cams around where they need to be. Get the cams close, and position them where they are at rest, meaning where you feel there is no valve spring pressure trying to move them. Then you can freely rotate the crank so the mark is at that 4 o'clock position. Just take your time and slowly move the shafts where they need to be for the chain to align properly.

I took the camshafts out to remove the heads. Now when I put the cams back in how do I know where to clock them up before I tighten the caps up? If I dont have the cams clocked up right, I’ll kiss a valve on top of a piston head
@Cloyes012 жыл бұрын
You will want to reference the camshaft phasers. Look at where the indexing dowels of the phasers will align to the features of the camshafts, and locate the cams so the timing marks of the phasers will be close.

i have a 2012 ford explorer 3.5l my water pump failed the oem eater pump had a plastic propeller i bought one that has a metal propeller will that have any affect on the car

No, the metal impeller is a valid replacement. You will have no issues with using it.

Your 11 o'clock timing position on the left bank is wrong, left should be 1 o'clock, right???

Cant get the timing marks to line up on the left side , right side is dead on with crank line up its off by a link no matter how i move the cams
@jkjwf2 жыл бұрын
What other way can you verify that you are in TDC besides relying on the timing marks alone? And how reliable are the timing marks on the crank and phasers to guarantee you are in time?
@Cloyes012 жыл бұрын
The timing marks are your best frame of reference. You can remove spark plugs and confirm where the pistons are, but the timing marks will confirm that you are on the correct stroke.The phasers are all indexed onto the cams by dowel pins and the crankshaft sprocket is indexed by its slot. Trust the sprocket marks and the marked links of the chain.

I just did my waterpump and timing chain but I noticed the right secondary tensioner never sprung out does it need oil pressure to actuate that tensionerr?
@Cloyes01 Жыл бұрын
Please watch the secondary tensioner explanation starting at 5:04 of this video. The tensioners must be manually activated after the secondary chains are installed. Compress them down completely and release.

What size wrench did he use to move the cam?

Did you figure that out? Looks like it says 1-1/16 or 2-1/16. At about 7:27

@harrybalsonya5619 Жыл бұрын
Mount the phaser and turn the cam until the timing mark is at 11:30 position for the right bank and 12:30 for the left bank. Just make sure you rotate the crank ccw shaft so the pin moves from the 12:00 position to the 10:00 position. This will lower all pistons to allow room for the valves. When ready, move the crank back to TDC.

I was thinking about buying a (3.7engine) Mazda 2011 GT with 69,000 miles should I change the water pump and timing chain?
@BM-rc1qq2 жыл бұрын
Hi I have followed all the steps in video but I have 0 pressure in all 6 spark plugs. Any idea why would that be. I am working on 2011 F150 3,5. Thank You
@Cloyes012 жыл бұрын
Did you have a failure before replacing the components? If you do not have compression, the engine is either out of time or you have bent/damaged valves.

Should I replace the phasers so I can have all new gears to go with the new chain
@Cloyes012 жыл бұрын
New phasers would be ideal. It will only extend the life of the new timing chain/system.

Hello. My mazda cx 9 2008 with a 3.7 engine has a mileage of 300 thousand kilometers. I changed the coolant at 280,000 km when I bought the car. The fluid is checked twice a week. Should I replace the pump or the car and check the condition of the coolant and engine oil? What are the first symptoms of a leaking pump? I am asking for your opinions.p
@richiewayne7951 Жыл бұрын
Do I rotate the engine clockwise or counter clockwise?? Or does it matter..
@Cloyes01 Жыл бұрын
You typically want to rotate an engine clockwise, but while setting the timing, counterclockwise rotations to get the shafts to align will not hurt anything.

Question: I need to apply silicone to form a gasket at the back of the water pump to extra protection or the two gasket that come with the pump are enough. Thanks

The O-ring style gaskets on the back of the pump are all you need. Just make sure the engine surface is clean.

I have put my timing chain on twice and both times I rotated it several times and all 3 dots line up at 11,1,and 4 position but the colored links seam to be off by one link is this normal
@Cloyes012 жыл бұрын
Yes, the marked chain links and timing marks will only perfectly align when first installed. Once the engine is rotated, the marked chain links can no longer be used. It will all realign again, but it may take over 100 rotations for that to occur.
