steve_c47 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hi I have bought a Mondeo with a partially stripped engine. I've put Big end shells & Piston Rings in, however its time to set the timing & put the chain on etc. I've found the plug to take out for the crank timing pin but can't find anything on the crank that the pin goes into to lock the crank. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 the crank web buts up against the pin, so get no1 piston approx 45% btdc, screw in pin, then turn crank using old pulley bolt clockwise until crank stops. make sure you fit a new friction washer.

steve_c47 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Cheers Ian. Might be a daft question but where does the friction washer fit onto? I haven't seen a washer in the box of bits i've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 you need a new friction washer and crank pulley bolt, so the pulley firmly locks on to crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_c47 Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Cheers Ian, i'm just getting back on to the engine again. thanks for the info. Sorry just to clarify, when the crank web butts up against the pin will it be just about TDC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
