ford explorer timing
Discussion
hello everybody.im just wondering if anybody has ever timed up a ford explorer 4 litre v6.my dads just had the timing chains changed and now it runs like a bag of nails.the mechanic said the chains must have jumped before he marked where everything was before he took it apart.however anybody who has seen a chain on a sprocker knows its near imposable for it to jump when under the kind of tention a timing chain is.the mechanic is talking about jigs needed to get the timing spot on but the only way i have ever known to time an engine is to get the no1 piston to top dead centre and the correct valves open/closed etc.is their somthing i dont know about this engine or is the mechanic not worth his weight in bolts.please help as without sound advise we dont really have a leg to stand on.
kind regards tom.
