Q: How to service and repair the timing chain on Mercury Sable?
A: Starting the timing chain service procedure requires removal of the engine front cover. First position the crankshaft to view its timing marks. Start by detaching the camshaft sprocket bolt before extracting a unified structure formed by the timing chain and camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket. You should start by repositioning the alignment marks and install the timing chain followed by the camshaft sprocket then the crankshaft sprocket together as one component. Before proceeding finish by securing the camshaft sprocket bolt then reinstall the engine front cover.
