[QUOTE="StrayBullitt, post: 15611299, member: 181759"] Do your chains have the copper colored links on them?.. if so, timing is actually pretty straight forward and it's a matter of lining the marks on sprockets to the copper links on the chains. If you get a buddy as an extra set of hands to move/hold the cams in place, it helps a lot imo. Did you already replace all the timing chains and guides ? If not, I would recommend to order the Ford Racing 4v timing kit as it comes with a pretty solid set of instructions. As long as the "dot" on your crankshaft sprocket is pointing straight down (this puts the key way at about 11 o'clock) Then you are all set with your starting point with the crank in posisiton, and from there you can go by the links on the chains. Your timing marks are the copper links links on the chains and need to be matched up to the marks on the cam sprockets. And it's normal and may be necessary to rotate the cams some to get the marks to align, the cams moved on you due to tension on the valve springs. Best of luck ! [/QUOTE]
