[@JoseVazquez-wf3fx]

Exactly what I was looking for, the fear of inching the cams to compensate for the chain’s sprocket engagement was a bit frightening until I watched your video. Thank you for this explanation and tomorrow when I receive the new chain I’ll know exactly how to engage it on the tooth.

[@sonkisted5581]

Thanks so much I been looking all over for this exact version of the 3.5l

[@jimmykulik3438]

I would like to mention that the marks on the primary chain is deceiving in that the actual timing marks on the vvt sprockets are not exactly on the tooth. This makes using the camshaft alignment tools necessary. Many guys think it's okay to put the chain on and it will be timed. But you can be off a tooth and think the alignment is perfect. It's not a job you want to do twice because you got a p0016 correlation code after you changed the water pump.

Does the engine have to be pulled for this repair?

[@Pete_Tech_]

It does not. It was pulled due to this particular vehicle getting many other replacements that were made easier by dropping it all out of the car.

[@MichaelNel123]

What's the symptoms of these going out planning to buy a 2015 with 97k

[@monkeyfart7368]

If it breaks it could mean you need a whole new engine, ive heard its a good idea to change around 100k

[@michaelcalzavara4438]

Can this be done with the engine in the car

[@ozkarguillen]

forget the 45 degrees of the water pump. do you think it's a problem?

[@duffgordon9005]

WHAT IS THE BEST ADDITIVE IN YOUR FINDINGS TO PREVENT THE NEED FOR THIS

[@Pete_Tech_]

Changing the engine oil with full synthetic every 4000-4500 miles. Not following the cars built in maintenance system lol.

[@ryanrobinson2401]

Should I replace my phasers and solenoid when doing the water pump and timing components?

[@Pete_Tech_]

Absolutely! They have high failure rate! Combination of carbon buildup and oil starvation.

[@viperkill3]

Where did you get those plastic cam tools to hold the cams in place

[@Pete_Tech_]

Otc, ford, and a couple other companies sell them, search google 👍🏻

Are these shoes reliable?

[@JJJobson]

Yup I’m out, not doing this water pump job. Too much could go wrong. Freaking Engineers

[@kevinpoehlmann5157]

You forgot to tell us that the chain guide on the right has to be put on before the phaser😢 Now I’m off to buy another set of bolts

[@davem3789]

That is a Cloyes kit and all those parts are made in china.
