1. Install the special tool on the camshaft synchronizer by rotating the tool until it engages the notch in the camshaft synchronizer housing and the
armature.
CAUTION: Do not turn the crankshaft or the camshaft during the removal and installation procedure or the fuel system timing will be out of time
with the engine and possibly cause engine damage. A special tool must be used during the installation of the replacement synchronizer assembly.
Failure to follow this procedure will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage. It is very
important to coat the gear on the camshaft synchronizer with Super Premium SAE 5W-30 Motor Oil XO-5W30-QSP or equivalent meeting Ford
specification WSS-M2C153-G or equivalent, prior to installation. Failure to do so could result in gear failure.
2. Install the camshaft synchronizer housing assembly so the arrow on the special tool is 38 degrees from the centerline of the engine.
NOTE: During installation, the arrow on the special tool will rotate clockwise until oil pump intermediate shaft and camshaft gear engages.
3. Install the camshaft synchronizer bolt.
4. Install the CMP sensor.
5. Connect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to Battery.
