Using Ford Cam Tools

Quick and accurate service of today’s late model trains can be accomplished using Ford cam tools. Cam positioning is a critical procedure on today’s computer-controlled vehicles. A camshaft can be timed in error, but the motor will still run. The ECM compensates for the error, but performance and mileage will be affected, and the vehicle’s “check engine” light may come on at some point. Some cam sensors are adjustable and some aren't. A badly adjusted cam sensor can produce problems. If the injector delivers its fuel too early or too late, all sorts of surges, stumbles, and starting problems can result.

OTC offers complete line of cam tools for the Ford vehicle family. Ensure proper cam timing when you replace a head gasket, replace a timing belt or chain, or complete any valve train repair. Quick and accurate service of today’s late model valve trains can be accomplished using the Ford Cam Positioning Tools from OTC. OTC Ford cam tools ensure correct cam timing when servicing timing belts, chains, head gaskets; or other valve train repairs.
