CAUTION: To prevent damage to valves and pistons, do NOT rotate the crankshaft and/or camshaft(s)
when removing timing chain(s) and installing cylinder heads. Because this is not a free-wheeling
engine, if it has "jumped time," there will be damage to the valves and/or pistons, which will require
the removal of the cylinder heads. The cam sprocket should be disassembled from the camshaft only
when one of the components must be replaced.
1. Remove all necessary components to access the timing chains.
2. Rotate the engine to No. 1 TDC.
3. Assemble tools :
• 1991 4.6L 2V V8 : Refer to Figure 1. Install No. 511532 (6009) on ats of the camshaft to prevent accidental
rotation of the camshafts.
• All other applications : Refer to Figure 2. Install No. 511532 (6009) and Cam Positioning Tool No. 511555
(6020) into each camshaft end before removing (or installing) timing chain tensioners and chains —this
prevents valve train damage.
4. Perform camshaft service as required.
5. Refer to the vehicle service manual for the correct camshaft-to-crankshaft timing procedure.
Note: Tool No. 511555 (6020; same as Ford No. 303-413/T92P-6256-A) must be used with tool
No. 511532 (6009; same as Ford No. 303-380/T91P-6256-A).
CAUTION: To prevent damage to valves and pistons, DO NOT rotate the crankshaft and/or camshaft(s)
when removing the timing chain(s) and installing the cylinder heads. Because this is not a free-wheeling

components must be replaced.
1. Remove all necessary components to access the timing chains.
2. Rotate the engine to No. 1 top dead center.
3. Disassembly: Install Camshaft Positioning
Tool (511555/6020) and Cam Positioning Tool
(511532/6009) into each camshaft end, as
shown, before removing timing chain tensioners
and chains to prevent valve train damage.
4. Assembly: Install Camshaft Positioning Tool
(511555/6020) and Cam Positioning Tool
(511532/6009) into each camshaft end, as shown,
before installing timing chains and tensioners to
prevent valve train damage.

1. Rotate crankshaft to set No. 1 cylinder at 26° after top dead
center of the compression stroke.
2. Engage camshaft sensor housing vane in slot of tool No. 6467
(511534).
3. Rotate tool on camshaft sensor housing until tool engages housing
notch. (Tool should be square and in contact with entire top of
housing.)
