• Q: How to service the camshaft on 2002 Ford Escort?

  A: Service of the camshaft starts with disconnecting the battery ground cable then removing the engine air cleaner. The service begins by removing the three valve cover securing bolts together with its gasket before handling the camshaft front seal. Unplug the ignition coil by disconnecting both radio interference capacitor and ignition coil electrical connectors and unfasten the bolt screws to set the ignition coil aside. The procedure includes bolt removal and ignition coil bracket elimination followed by eight of the valve tappets. Tear out the two bolts from the camshaft thrust plate after removing the whole assembly and discard the cup plug portion from the cylinder head's rear section. Pull out the camshaft from the cylinder head rear opening with caution. ologists should extensively oil the cylinder head cam bore prior to putting the camshaft through its rear opening. Reinstall the camshaft thrust plate and bolts at first then add the cup plug thereon before fitting back the eight valve tappets together with their rocker arms. Connect all electrical components of the ignition coil bracket, ignition coil and radio interference capacitor while reattaching these components correctly. The process ends with installation of the camshaft front seal followed by valve cover and engine air cleaner then reestablishing the battery ground cable connection.
