Synchro Tool 2:
This is the tool
for 4.2L
engines. When
using the tool,
the specs
generally call
for the engine to
be at TDC
compression
stroke on #1, but
how do you set
it up when you
don't have the
tool?
Well, I measure
the distance
from zero to 24
degrees BTDC,
cut a piece of
masking tape
using that
measurement, then apply the tape to the ATDC side of zero. Presto! Now you have a mark. In many
cases, the deep notch on the balancer (if there is one) is found at 24 ATDC. Use the edge of the notch
closest to zero for your mark. In most cases the measurement will be from 31 to 34 mm, depending on the
diameter of the balancer, but make sure you get it right!
Windstar, so be careful!. It’s best to measure for yourself, but these are a few measurements I came up
with in our shop. A math whiz can figure it out on a calculator using the diameter of the pulley.
