To set the timing on a Ford 3.0-liter V6 engine, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) for the number one cylinder. Locate the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft, aligning them according to the specifications in the service manual. Adjust the distributor, if applicable, so that the rotor points to the correct terminal for cylinder one. Finally, secure all components and check the timing with a timing light to ensure proper alignment.
