2005 Lincoln Town Car Camshaft Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the camshaft on 2005 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Service and repair of the camshaft begins with proper safety protocols using a step-by-step process which requires no crankshaft or camshaft rotation during timing chain removal and installing cylinder heads because such motion can result in dangerous piston and valve damage. Start by taking off the camshaft roller followers followed by the timing chain extraction. The next step of the procedure requires uninstalling the camshaft sprocket alongside its spacer by unscrewing the bolt. The service procedure requires the removal of 13 camshaft bearing cap bolts and camshaft bearing cap ladders followed by camshaft extraction from the cylinder head. Before inserting the camshaft onto the cylinder head you must apply engine oil for lubrication to both the camshaft journals and bearing cap ladders. Mount the camshaft bearing caps loosely and start bolting them before performing bolt torquing following the specified order. Place the camshaft sprocket together with its sprocket spacer before installing the bolt. Conclude the installation by putting on timing chains combined with roller followers.
