Too complicated to relate here, and you would need a diagram. I would suggest getting the manual. Many libraries have it.
Exhaust cam, is the cam that control valve timing on a DOHC, (DUAL OVERHEAD CAM) motor.
depends on the engine if its a single overhead cam it has a belt if its a daul overhead it has a timing chain
The Mercury Sable and the Ford Taurus will have DOC in printed on the engine if they are dual overhead cam engines. The symbol should be on the top of the engine.
Timing belts are usually only used for Overhead Cam Engines ( DOHC or SOHC). The Iron Duke is a overhead valve engine and not an over head cam engine. The Iron Duke has cam gears instead of a chain or a belt.
Pushrod engines have a chain. Overhead cam engines have a belt.
Older engines, not overhead cam, it goes in from the front of the motor and you need to put in new bearings with the cam. Overhead cam is under the valve cover and is held in place with caps that bolt on. Take the timing belt pulley off the front, hold tension on it so that the timing doesn't jump, remove the caps and lift out the cam shaft.
do u set the timing marks at btdc or tdc on a 2.5 mercury cougar
Generally, for most single cam engines, there is a dot or mark on the cam sprocket and a similar mark on the crank sprocket. Point them at each other. the timing marks on the crank and cam sprockets must be lined up with marks on the timing chain in an overhead cam engine
It depends on the motor..if you have overhead cam...then YES. The timing belt has to be removed when the water pump is changed and the cam sprockets have to be set to correct timing when the belt is replaced.
A VG30DE is a Dual Overhead Cam engine (DOHC) with individual ignition coil and use a timing chain ...while VG30E is a Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) with spark plug wires and use timing belt...
Timing on 1997 pontiac grand am 2.4
yes.
