The answer is yes. A common engine block could be found in several different variations among automakers. You will receive a Ford crankshaft pin and a Mazda crankshaft pin with the kit. Using the Mazda pin and the camshaft bar, I built the engine. There is a high probability that the Ford pin will be necessary. I am very satisfied with the tool set. When using the tools, make sure you do not use them to hold the crankshaft or cams in place while rotating the shaft It is not an appropriate use of the tools and it will result in damage. For your particular model of Ford, I would suggest that you find a forum for that In this section, you should be able to find all the specifications, procedures and tool parts you require. Just to let you know Cams have a hex pattern between #1 and # 2 There are two lobes on the piston. Make sure the shafts are at the proper position before you install the alignment bar. You're going to need a large wrench to do this. Since the bar is soft, you should not apply force to it while it is in place ( torque ).
I was able to get it to work with my 2006 Ford Escape
For the 2 is the short pin. Both 0 and 2 are possible. The long pin of 3 goes on the second pin. *The year does not matter, just as it does not matter which year it is.
In my shop, I have a 2003 Mazda pick up truck with a 2.0L engine. My camshaft alignment tool worked great for my 5.0-liter engine, and I got the truck running smoothly again.

Makes the job easier by eliminating all guesswork. We've tried it on four different vehicles so far. Tip Be sure to read the entire article before you post it. In all likelihood, the threaded stopper for the crank has a longer than needed hex head so it can be fitted with There have been instances when this part interfered with the exhaust. It took heavy prying to fit the piece into place to thread it on three of the four models I worked on. Regardless of the vehicle, if it is ground down 1/4in or more, it should slip in. But it is a great tool.
I used a cam alignment tool to be sure the timing is set. Be cautious when setting the timing belt position on a variable cam timing engine because the oil pressure has to be released before you can set the belt position. Otherwise, you will advance or retard the timing too far and the engine will exhibit warning lights.
I used it for my 2nd project and it was perfect. In my ranger (Mazda engine) I have a number 3 bolt. So I would suggest going to the hardware store and locating a bolt that matches the thread pattern of the tool. Then make sure that bolt extends to the same depth as the pin you need. Use spacers, paint mark the bolt, and tighten it until it reaches 200+ ft-lbs of torque, then use the bolt to hold the crank in place and hold it in place until it reaches its godawful torque. The weight is 5 pounds. I was able to complete this task on my own without the aid of a second hand. As soon as the pin was tightened, we double checked that the pin was at TDC.
An error message came up when my daughter's car had a cam sensor problem. It turned out to be a matter of cam gears spinning slightly and throwing the timing off. I was able to use this tool to re-clock the car. To align the cams, follow these steps. After that was completed (and the valve cover gaskets were replaced), it was ready to go. The CEL was removed right away and the car started. The cost of repairing it at home is much more inexpensive than having to send it to a repair shop. With the 2005 Mazda 6, you will have two cars. This engine has a 3 liter 4 cylinder capacity.
There are no engines larger than 0L. In my Ford Focus 2, a cam alignment bar could not be installed into the cam shafts. This 16v dohc battery is 0L. Its sole purpose was to serve as a reference for While the crank pin did not fit or work as intended, it did work as it should. I ended up getting 50% of what this package had to offer. Thanks for sharing this and I hope it will be helpful to Despite the fact that it could be used in some capacity, I did not return it.
To complete this job properly you'll need the crank pulley holder and NEW diamond plated friction washers, but whatever you decide to use it for, I think it will work well. The number is 2. 3 and 2. The timing of five.
At such a low price, it's worth the money. While both timing pegs fit well, they are not made from the same steel as the factory ones. This is also true of cam bars. Make sure not to put too much pressure on the pins or the cam bar when you are working at def.
Other than that, OEMTOOLS offers good quality products as well. Although I could have ground down the bar to fit, I didn't this time, maybe on the next Ford engine.
