Best Answer

There are four different timing chains that all work together on this engine. If these timing chain arent all aligned just right the engine will have to be pulled from the vehicle and retimed. Even more difficult is the fact that all the cam gear dont have timing marks on them. They need to be set at TDC with specialty tools from Ford. This is a difficult task and without the right tool and know how should be done by a professional.
