Well I was just getting ready to start over, turned the keyway to 12 and the dark links lined up perfectly on the pass side.

Sooo, paranoid for no reason haha

The colored links should always keep it in time as long as the cams didn't move. As far as the last step turning the crank db252 aka buddy is wright however the Ford manual says turn the crank after the DS chain is on from one revolution from 5 o'clock to 5 o'clock then and additional turn so keyway is at 12 o'clock. It's does the same thing as db252 describes, just so other don't get confused. Or maybe I confused people more:headbonk:

Yeah Shawn, you made me go back and read my post. Your explanation, more of the ford quote, sounds better even though it's the same outcome. :headbonk:

Wish I had the confidence to install this myself. Got my parts coming in on Monday.

I'm an engineer by trade, very competent with wrenching, but never messed about with anything timing related. My only concern is taking off the timing cover, getting the parts installed and then having issues getting timed and back on correctly.

A photo set-by-step would be great, but I know that isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Download all of the Ford manuals and follow them step by step and you will not have any problems. Hell you could probably piece together a step by step just from this thread alone.

Doing oil pump and timing gear is not a difficult task, don't pressure yourself into thinking It is. If you have even the slightest amount of mechanical ability you can get it done.

Not to mention how INCREDIBLY supportive and informative the people on here are. Shawn and Jamie were literally at my disposal when I was installing my supercharger. Zero hesitation to help the fellow man is the credo here!

It is ridiculously simple. You will save quite a bit of money doing it yourself and probably enjoy it. I'm telling you the hardest part for me was getting the damn wire loom retainers to let go behind the cam covers. ANYTHING that you question will be explained easily by us here anytime you ask. Plenty of us will give you our phone number to call/text for the quickest support. If you were/are close enough I'd personally help wrench with you. I have a mmr damper install bolt and the Ford silicone I can send you if you need it also.

 

[Roh92cp]

I will be a available to help by phone or text when needed. I've done it twice now and want to help anyone who wants to get this done.

Does anyone know how I can get the ford installation instructions without using Dropbox? I want to print it from my work computer and can't download Dropbox.
