Hello!

New to Fords but my wife now has an 02 1.6 zetec Focus which I must say I am really pleased with. I guess I will be hanging around here asking loads of novice questions for the coming months! I am very experienced mechanically so it is just the subtleties of the Ford which will catch me out. Which leads me on to..........

I am replacing the timing belt this weekend. Happy with, and understand the procedure. I have all the parts and the tools. Also have a couple of questions:-

1. The timing tool kit I have has two different length pins for what appears to be the crank location tool, one considerably longer than the other. I suppose it will become obvious but is it the long or the short which I will need.

2. When it comes to torquing the cam sprockets, are there any flats on the cams to hold them or do you really need the special tool which sits in the sprocket to counter the torque you are applying?

I have the belt, tensioner, idler, cam gasket, crank bolt, locking tool for flywheel, locating tools for crank and cams. Anything obvious I have missed?

I will also service the engine at the same time, anything unusual or is it all regular stuff?

Thanks in anticipation!!

Andy.
