[QUOTE="cobraracer46, post: 1449736, member: 18298"] A lot of bad advice in this thread. I follow the Ford procedure for replacing the timing chains and I use the OTC special tool kit. Use the tools to get all of the timing marks lined up before you start pulling off parts. Furthermore, Ford specifically states not to spin the motor when the chains are off. Pulling off rocker followers is foolish and a waste of time. While you are replacing the chains, guides and tensioners, might as well upgrade the oil pump to 2013 GT500 piece that puts out more pressure. Put in billit oil pump gears too. Finally, upgrade the timing guide pivot pins too. Ford procedure that backs up what I say [URL]https://performanceparts.ford.com/download/instructionsheets/FORDINSTSHTM-6004-A464.PDF[/URL] [/QUOTE]
