Replacement of timming belt on 2.5L Ford Ranger 2005 modle Turbo

FORD FIESTA ZETEC 1 4 TIMING BELT REPLACMENT part 1 FORD FIESTA 1 4 DURATEC TIMING BELT REPLACMENT pt2

timing belt changes across the board are 60.000miles or 100.00klms. If there are oil leaks inside the plastic cover or the area of operation is dusty reduce that distance by 15%

I assume 4cyl?

1. Loosen tensioner adjusting bolt.

1. Using Camshaft Belt Tension Adjusting Tool T74P-6254-A, pry tensioner clockwise against spring tension as far as possible.

1. Tighten adjusting bolt to hold tensioner in released position.

1. Align crankshaft so number one piston is at TDC (top dead center) with crankshaft key pointing straight up and circle on crankshaft sprocket (6306) aligned with notch in engine front cover (6019) .

1. Align triangle on camshaft sprocket with triangle on inner timing belt cover.

1. Align diamond on oil pump sprocket with diamond on inner timing belt cover.
   
   Timing Mark Alignment

Rotate the engine so that No. 1 cylinder is at TDC on the compression stroke. Check that the timing marks are aligned on the camshaft and crankshaft pulleys. An access plug is provided in the cam belt cover so that the camshaft timing can be checked without removal of the cover or any other parts. Set the crankshaft to TDC by aligning the timing mark on the crank pulley with the TDC mark on the belt cover. Look through the access hole in the belt cover to make sure that the timing mark on the cam drive sprocket is lined up with the pointer on the inner belt cover.

when you unbolt the alternator it will slide and loosen the tension. Good Luck Tim

ahh the two liter iron duke i had that same truck once great engine although they have a bad reputation for timing issues the timing belt is located behind the harmonic balancer/crankshaft pulley once the fan and crank pulley are removed you should have complete access to the timing cover. open it and its as simple as lining up the confusing timing marks on the crank and cam when you put the belt on and apply tension with the belt tensioner pulley.hope this helps

Here is a 2.5 Im pretty sure its the same.

Need to verify Timming marks I replace the Timming Velt but it's not running correct lost power

The 2.3 uses a timing belt with an tension idler adjustment. Replacement is straight forward, just make sure to mark upper and lower cog pulleys before removing the old belt so that you can keep the timing in sync.

No you don't, but it's quite a job to change the belt. For more information and a do-it-yourself-guidance (don't start unless you know what you're doing !) please refer to: http://fromthescratch.com/In-the-Garage/Engine-and-Mechanical/Timing-Belt-Replacement-New-Beetle.html
