Default Help required please.

Firstly, just got my head back from machine shop and one of the coil packs has bust in transit... (anyone got a second hand one they want to sell)

I could also do with the part of the manual that explains how to line everything up again....ie cam pulleys, etc. Pretty standard stuff I know, but I want to get it right....

Thanks guys.

1996 Escort Cos.

Dont take this the wrong way but there is quite a few complex essays in the tech essay section, though you have to be a gold member

Alternatively do a few searches as its been covered alot

Failing that a technicians manual will help no end... POP up on EBay regularly

When installing the cylinder head gasket fit alignment studs as shown.

Auxiliary shaft and distributor rotor it, tdc position

Slackening and tightening sequence for the head bolts

Alignment studs

Lubricate head bolts at threads and under bolt head and install bolts together with washers.

Tighten cylinder head bolts as follows:

Stage 1 requires to tighten all bolts 30-35 Nm.
Stage 2 requires to tighten all bolts to 67 -70 Nm following the sequence.
Stage 3 requires the bolts to be tighten in degrees of rotating using a special gauge tool.

Following the sequence, each bolt is turned 80° - 90° of rotation .

Check and ensure that the crankshaft, the camshafts, the auxiliary shaft and the distributor rotor are still in TDC position. Fit the timing belt in counter*clockwise direction starting at the auxi*liary gear.

• Pull belt tensioner by hand in clockwise direction against the timing belt and tighten fastening nut.

Crank engine several times in clockwise direction and subsequently one full turn counter - clockwise to TDC position.

Note: The engine must not be cranked beyond TDC position.

Using the belt tension gauge 21-113, check belt tension at the longest straight section (see illustration). If necessary adjust belt tensioner so that the specified tension of 9,5 to 10,5 is achieved.

Repeat complete procedure and recheck belt tension.

Crankshaft, camshafts, auxiliary shaft and distributor in tdc position
