How to remove and replace the camshafts on Ford Mustang?

Before commencing replacement of the camshafts start by taking out the camshaft roller followers. The proper right-hand (RH) and left-hand (LH) camshaft timing instructions need to be completed during any maintenance on the camshafts. The correct method to position the No. 1 cylinder at Top Dead Center (TDC) is to rotate the crankshaft clockwise so you prevent damaging the damper crank sensor speed wheel while maintaining accurate engine timing. Insert the Crankshaft TDC Timing Tool into the damper so it adequately touches the engine block. The RH cylinder head requires installation of the Camshaft Sprocket Holding Tool and Adapter on its rear while tightening the top two clamp bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb-in). Torque Wrench Extension 303-565 combined with the Camshaft Sprocket Nut Socket 303-565 allows users to unscrew the left-hand threaded RH camshaft sprocket bolt. Subsequently remove the bolt and place the RH camshaft sprocket to one side. The Camshaft Sprocket Holding Tool and Adapter need to be installed onto the front side of the LH camshaft which requires tightening the top bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb-in). After this, loosen and remove the bolt as you position the LH camshaft sprocket to the side. The camshaft bearing caps need marking before you discard their initial positions. You should now remove the camshaft by taking out the bolts in their designated sequence. The installation process requires cleaning engine oil for lubrication of camshafts along with bearing caps before reinstalling them in their marked original locations. The installment process consists of two phases for bolt tightening: first to 6 Nm (53 lb-in) followed by 16 Nm (142 lb-in). The RH camshaft sprocket goes on the RH side and the bolt needs to be installed loosely while the LH camshaft sprocket fits on the LH side with a loose bolt. The last step involves retime of the camshafts and reinstalling all roller followers for the cams.

Crucial in the motion of the car, the camshaft of the Ford Mustang is an important part of the car's engine which regulates the timing of the engine and the phases of the cylinder strokes synchronously. This one rotates with the help of a timing belt or a chain and works at a speed half as that of the crankshaft. It contains cams which presses on the intake and exhaust values to open them while the springs help to close them. Different camshaft techniques have also been applied to the Ford Mustang models over time such as the SOHC and DOHC systems depending on the type of engine model and the desired goals and objectives. The material that is often used for making camshafts of the car such as the Ford Mustang includes the cast iron and billet steel where the billet steel is only used here in the high performer and special edition models. When deciding between SOHC and DOHC options in the Ford Mustang, the engine performance varies, and DOHC is known to have more precise control of the valve timing. These accuracies increase power and efficiency in performance, necessary in the high-performance Ford Mustang engines requirement. In general, the camshaft in the Ford Mustang has dimensions and is made of material that should be chosen in order to achieve maximum performance and power from the engine. This is in a bid to reduce mechanical loss on the camshaft and retain the characteristic power that is associated with the ford mustang brand.

Camshaft
5L1Z-6250-BB
Q: How to remove and replace the camshafts on Ford Mustang?
A:
Before commencing replacement of the camshafts start by taking out the camshaft roller followers. The proper right-hand (RH) and left-hand (LH) camshaft timing instructions need to be completed during any maintenance on the camshafts. The correct method to position the No. 1 cylinder at Top Dead Center (TDC) is to rotate the Crankshaft clockwise so you prevent damaging the damper crank sensor speed wheel while maintaining accurate engine timing. Insert the Crankshaft TDC Timing Tool into the damper so it adequately touches the engine block. The RH cylinder head requires installation of the Camshaft Sprocket Holding Tool and Adapter on its rear while tightening the top two clamp bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb-in). Torque Wrench Extension 303-565 combined with the Camshaft Sprocket Nut Socket 303-565 allows users to unscrew the left-hand threaded RH camshaft sprocket bolt. Subsequently remove the bolt and place the RH camshaft sprocket to one side. The Camshaft Sprocket Holding Tool and Adapter need to be installed onto the front side of the LH camshaft which requires tightening the top bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb-in). After this, loosen and remove the bolt as you position the LH camshaft sprocket to the side. The camshaft bearing caps need marking before you discard their initial positions. You should now remove the camshaft by taking out the bolts in their designated sequence. The installation process requires cleaning engine oil for lubrication of camshafts along with bearing caps before reinstalling them in their marked original locations. The installment process consists of two phases for bolt tightening: first to 6 Nm (53 lb-in) followed by 16 Nm (142 lb-in). The RH camshaft sprocket goes on the RH side and the bolt needs to be installed loosely while the LH camshaft sprocket fits on the LH side with a loose bolt. The last step involves retime of the camshafts and reinstalling all roller followers for the cams.

YF3Z-6250-AA
Q: How to service the camshaft on Ford Mustang?
A:
Service of the camshaft starts with valve tappet removal and Timing Chain extraction before moving the wire harness to a safe position. The first step involves removing the radiator fan assembly with its shroud before obtaining the camshaft drive gear from the engine balance shaft. Take out the camshaft key followed by the engine balance shaft drive gear. The camshaft extraction process demands the removal of bolts and the camshaft thrust plate and spacer beforehand to obtain the camshaft. Clean engine oil must first lubricate the camshaft before reinstalling it so you should follow the reverse order of the removal steps to finalize the installation.
