Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications 3.0L Duratec Timing problems?

When rebuilding the Duratecs or any other engine, there's a "quick" way and a "right" way. Thrown together using paint marks on the cams, chains, and crank is the quick way. The right way, you NEED a degree wheel, even with no adjustable cam gears. Main reasons??? Chain slop, mismarked timing marks, misassembled engine parts.

Measure twice, rebuild once.
