    Nice quick overview when everything was already set up and working. The hard part is when the engine is being assembled and adjustments are needed to the timing wheel and cam buckets. That would be much more useful and I hope to see those in the future.

      Good idea! We'll work on a video that shows a quick run through on measuring, and adjusting lash on a Duratec.

      @@TheEsslingerRacingChannel as Scott had mentioned, just seeing an imperfect situation, because what project ever goes as planned? Showing adjustments being made etc. Everything just kinda fell together in this particular video. It would be nice to see a badly times engine being brought in with adjustments to valve lash/buckets.

      Yeah, I'm really interested in a set of cams from y'all, but I'm not 100% confident that I know what I'm doing in terms of adjusting valve lash on a Duratec 2.0. If you could elaborate on that (preferably with the engine in the car), that would help me to come up with the $1,000 to send you to get the grind going. (I am for real, I have the car tuned with full bolt-ons at present.)

    Great job dialling cam would be also worthwhile

    Close ups especially for valve lash would be appreciated

    Nice video… But would be even more helpful if you showed where the bolt went on the side of the engine and a close-up of the bolt in the crankshaft damper. Also a close-up of the cam timing tool at the back of the cams.

    Good video. I have a question. I recently redid the head gaskets on a family members car. Once I put everything together, I’m having an issue with it saying that I’m not getting fuel on the rail. But I’m sure it is. The timing is off. Do you have a video of doing the complete timing where you have the timing chain cover off? Unless is it possible for me to time the engine without taking the timing chain cover off? Mind you I have had the timing chain off because I did the head gasket. Thank you in advance.

    Think you should check that info about the crankshaft been keyed

    Can you tell me if the 2.3 eco is an interference engine.. Broke time chain- Valaves may or may not hit piston

    Where do you get that hold down tool for the cams or what brand is it sir?

    Wouldn't happen to have the cylinder head bolt torque specks by any chance?

    This is another great video but doesn't explain how to set the cams on an engine that has had a catastrophic failure of the cam belt.. ive reground new valves in, replaced everything, even bought the correct timing kit but the cambelt is still half a tooth out from settling into both sprockets, if I go the wrong way it will be a tooth out and I'll be doing the whole job again! There is nowhere that explains how to set the cams perfectly on the 1.0 ecoboost engine!.
