INSTALLATION
1. Assemble the timing chain, camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket so sprocket timing marks align with each other as shown in the Removal
portion of this procedure. Install the timing chain, camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket as an assembly to crankshaft and camshaft. If a new
timing chain is to be installed, submerge timing chain in a container of recommended quality engine oil. Verify proper alignment of timing marks
after installation.
2. Install new camshaft sprocket bolt and camshaft sprocket washer. Tighten bolt to 54-68 Nm (40-50 ft. lbs.). Lubricate timing chain with
recommended quality engine oil.
3. Replace crankshaft front seal.
4. Clean sealing surfaces of engine front cover and cylinder block. Also, clean oil pan gasket sealing surfaces of any oil or debris.
5. Coat the gasket surfaces of the cylinder block and engine front cover with Perfect Seal Sealing' Compound F2AZ-19554-AA or equivalent oil
resistant sealer meeting Ford specification ESE-M4G 115-A and position a new engine front cover gasket on the cylinder block.
6. Apply Gasket Maker E2AZ-19562-B or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSK-M2G348-A5 along the cylinder block pan gasket junction
where the engine front cover contacts the oil pan gasket.
7. Position the engine front cover onto the cylinder block. Use care when installing the engine front cover to avoid seal damage or possible
Dislocation.
8. Install Front Cover Aligner T68P-6019-A into proper position. It may be necessary to force the engine front cover downward to compress the oil
pan gaskets lightly. This operation can be facilitated by using a suitable tool at the attaching bolt hole locations.
