If you have the Zetec engine.the one with the VCT(Variable Camshaft Timing) system, it's almost mandatory that you will have to read the Ford TSB(technical service bulletin) number 98-9-8 thoroughly! It is very thorough concerning proper timing belt replacement procedure while it's explaining replacing the VCT Solenoid.
98 ford contour how to#
I can't help you much because changing my timing belt and changing your timing belt are two different things, they are totally different.ĮDIT: heres a how to I found, should prove to be very useful to you Your best bet is look at a manual for the car, it will tell you how to replace it step by step. One you have them lined up put the peice of metal in the cams to lock them and put the belt on. This seems hard and tricky- but its truley easy. Next, since the belts off you can adjust the cams. and sticking a screw driver in the #1 piston to see if it is TDC, if its not you can either crank the car till it is or you can take a rachet are turn the crank pulley to rotate the pistons, ONLY DO THIS CLOCKWISE. You can check this by taking the valve cover off, and spark plugs. I know mine is a pre-98 (non VCT) but heres how I do itįirst make sure piston 1 and 4 are TDC, (top dead center). and by the way i think that is an interferance engine. it is off set so it will only go one way and rest on the valve cover surface of the head. get a piece of steel that is the same size of the slots andslide it in.
