2000 Lincoln Town Car Camshaft Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the camshaft on 2000 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Before working on the camshaft maintenance begin by preventing any rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft before installing or removing timing chains and cylinder heads because this movement can seriously hurt abovementioned components. Start by taking off the timing chain followed by the removal of camshaft roller followers. The camshaft sprocket along with the spacer requires removal by using a bolt. Start by extracting the camshaft from the cylinder head by first removing its 13 bearing cap bolts and both the bearing cap ladders. The installation requires Super Premium SAE 5W-30 Motor Oil XO-5W30-QSP or equivalent WSS-M2C153-G specified oil to lubricate camshaft journals before mounting the camshaft onto the cylinder head. Apply the same oil to the camshaft bearing cap ladders after which you can install the caps before installing the bolts lightly. Install the camshaft sprocket spacer followed by setting the camshaft sprocket in position before proceeding to bolt it. Install the timing chains followed by the roller follower as the last step.
