Can changing the serpentine belt affect the camshaft position in a 2000 Ford Mustang?

Answer 1

Yes, changing the serpentine belt can affect the camshaft position indirectly if the belt drives components that influence timing, such as the timing belt or chain in some engines. However, in a 2000 Ford Mustang with a V6 or V8 engine, the camshaft is typically driven by a timing chain or belt, which is separate from the serpentine belt. If the serpentine belt is not correctly installed or if it affects the operation of other components, it could potentially lead to timing issues, but it does not directly change the camshaft position. Always ensure proper installation and check for any related issues.
