This tool (FCP-TA-18549) is designed to align and hold the crankshaft of your Ford engine at Top Dead Center (TDC) for correct timing chain installation. Without this tool, you can cause significant damage to your engine Pistons and Valves if the crankshaft rotates during Timing Chain Removal and adjustment! **COMPATIBLE WITH** Ford 1993-newer 4.2L and 4.6L 2-valve engines, Ford 1993-newer 4.6L 4-valve engines, Ford 1993-newer 5.4L, 6.8L V8 engines
- This tool is specifically designed to align the crankshaft at Top Dead Center (TDC) on Ford 1993–newer 4.2L and 4.6L 2-valve engines, 1993–newer 4.6L 4-valve engines, and 1993–newer 5.4L and 6.8L V8 engines.
- These Ford engines are not Free Wheeling engines meaning that if the crankshaft is rotated during timing chain installation (Jumped Timing), it can cause significant damage to the Pistons and Valves if the cylinder heads are not removed.
- Fabricated from structural steel and black oxide coated for a long lasting finish.
- This tool slides easily over the crankshaft and locks into place with the Woodruff key. When the crankshaft is rotated so that the slot in the handle locks into the engine cover alignment dowel pin, the engine is at TDC.
- Must have tool for timing chain installation and adjustment!
