Check this procedure... REMOVALand& INSTALLATION
6-300
-
Remove the grille, radiator, and timing cover.
-
Remove the distributor, fuel pump, oil pan and oil pump.
-
Align the timing marks. Unbolt the camshaft thrust plate, working through the holes in the camshaft gear.
-
Loosen the rocker arms, remove the pushrods, take off the side cover and remove the valve lifters with a magnet.
-
Remove the camshaft very carefully to prevent nicking the bearings.
-
Oil the camshaft bearing journals and use Lubriplate or something
similar on the lobes. Install the camshaft, gear, and thrust plate,
aligning the gear marks. Tighten down the thrust plate. Make sure that
the camshaft end-play is not excessive.
-
The last item to be replaced is the distributor. The rotor should
be at the firing position for no. 1 cylinder, with the timing gear marks
aligned
V6 and V8 Including Diesel
Ford recommends removing the diesel engine for camshaft removal.
-
Remove the intake manifold and valley pan, if so equipped.
-
Remove the rocker covers, and either remove the rocker arm shafts
or loosen the rockers on their pivots and remove the pushrods. The
pushrods must be reinstalled in their original positions.
-
Remove the valve lifters in sequence with a magnet. They must be replaced in their original positions.
-
Remove the timing chain/gear cover and timing chain (timing gear on V8 diesel) and sprockets.
-
In addition to the radiator and air conditioning condenser, if so
equipped, it may be necessary to remove the front grille assembly and
the hood lock assembly to gain the necessary clearance to slide the
camshaft out of the front of the engine. On the V6-3.8L, remove the
camshaft thrust button and spring. Remove the camshaft thrust plate
attaching screws and carefully slide the camshaft out of its bearing
bores. Use extra caution not to scratch the camshaft lobes.
Camshaft removal tools, Ford part no. T65L-6250-A and adaptor 14-0314 are needed to remove the diesel camshaft.
-
Coat the camshaft with engine oil liberally before installing it.
Slide the camshaft into the engine very carefully so as not to scratch
the bearing bores with the camshaft lobes. Install the camshaft thrust
plate and tighten the attaching screws to 9 - 12 ft. lbs. Measure the
camshaft end-play. If the end-play is more than 0.009 inch; (0.228mm),
replace the thrust plate. Assemble the remaining components in the
reverse order of removal.
