To properly align the timing belt you will need a good repair manual with all the instructions. You will also need to buy from Ford (if you can get it) a special fixture to lock the camshafts in the proper position. I made my own by grinding down a piece of 1/4 inch aluminum to the ,200 inch thickness required. The approx size & pictures are in my Haynes manual. If youa re thinking of changing the belt be forwarned it is not an easy job as you have to jack up the frot of the engine & remove the front motor mount to gain access to the housings just to get at the belt. A lot depends on what may be misaligned & if it is the first time the belt is being replaced a special kit will be needed from Ford.
It uses a timing chain, not a belt.
