Was just questioning all of my timing when trying to use this tool, was going nuts thinking I had something off, tool would not fit, exhaust side off according to slot but lobes were correct....then this video...the service manual does not mention taking that off that I can find. Appreciate the video, really helped
Thank you. Doing a tear-down. Eco-Boom coolant in oil. Exhaust gasses in coolant. Good times. Gonna put timing tool in before I rip it apart just so it's already oriented correctly for re-assembly.
As a Ford technician, I'll say that I think they knew exactly what they were doing on these motors when they didn't put any keyways on the timing components and it's not because they are being "cheap". Personally I think they were trying to make the job more difficult (even impossible in some cases) for a diy or independent mechanic to perform these basic jobs keeping the money in the dealerships. Doesn't bother me too much since it's job security for me but I certainly understand why it is frustrating for guys like you and would probably piss me off as well if I was in your shoes.
Honestly from a technician's perspective this was a great video. This isn't for the DIY ppl.

I thought I was going crazy. This video was a big help. I’m going behind someone’s work as well. Appreciate the tip!
Awesome no problem

Do you have to do all this to remove the front panel to change the timing tensioner?
How much does a job like that cost?
I am not sure what they were charged Not cheap though
