Newbie after timing help
Hi guys,
Well this looks like the place to be for Ford owners! Reminds me of my rovertech days.
Hope you don't mind a newbie posting for help!
Basically I have a 07 Focus 1.8 TDCI 1.8 which needs the head skimmed. So i have got the head of and hat it all timed and locked at TDC. So cylinders 1&4 are at top of block. Upon looking at the head, it needs a proper clean and probably the valves reseating looking at all the carbon build up. Now i was going to attempt this myself but i have one concern. upon looking at the head, the two centre valves are protruding a little, is this normal?
Also, if i remove the camshaft (locking tool still in situ), how will i retime the vavles/camshaft? Will it just be a case of refitting the camshaft in the same position and the valves will go back to as they are?
Also, does anyone have any recommendations for head skimming/refurb in the Reading area, i have been looking at CFM Engineering if any one has used/heard of them.
Thanks guys
