It took me about 4 or 5 hours in my garage with no lift, having to jack up each side and use jack stands. I would guess a shop with all the tools would charge about 3 to 3.5 hours for labor
A couple places said they couldn’t do the job because it requires “special tools” they didn’t have. They didn’t elaborate. Any idea which tools they were talking about?
Yes, the crankshaft locator plug and the cam holding tool. When I get home I’ll try to send pictures of the tools. I borrowed them from a local O’reilys parts store
@@jeffh.2588 if you check my video at 13.46, you will see the cam holding tool sitting between the cam gears, it holds the cams from moving. The positioning bolt goes below into the side of the engine block to position the crankshaft at TDC "top dead center" of cylinder #1.
Hi! I have a 2013 Ford Fusion SE and both my AC and heat aren’t working. It’s blowing air, but the temperature doesn’t change. I’ve researched motor actuator and ambient air temperature. Do you think it could be thermostat?
@@chloegibson4642 it may be low on Freon, there is a low pressure safety switch that won’t allow the compressor to engage when low, so it won’t burn itself up. You can get a recharge kit at an auto parts store if you want to try to add some Freon. The sales person at auto parts store can instruct you. If adding Freon makes the compressor engage, then that was the answer. Your car should take 2 cans to fill it up. You may or may not have a leak, after 11 years it is normal for the factory charge of Freon to dissipate. I’m putting another video regarding replacement of an air conditioning compressor together that should be uploaded within a couple of days, you may get some help from that video. Thanks for watching, let me know how it goes
It was mentioned, the timing belt was pinned in place and I used a zip tie to keep the tension. As long as it doesn’t jump any teeth you don’t have to reset the timing
Hello I have a 2013 ford fusion Se eco boost I am having some overheating problems I changed out the Engine water outlet and the thermostat housing assembly and still overheating do you know what could be causing the issue
Thanks Kimberly, did you replace the thermostat as well inside the housing? Your engine has a history of head gasket trouble. Are you having to add coolant at times?
Several things to check. Make sure you have nothing obstructing the airflow to radiator such as excess bugs or debris or plastic bag etc. look for any leaks getting to the ground, also I recommend calling a Ford dealer and give them your vin number, ask if there are any recalls on it. It may be leaking head gasket
Does it buck while driving a steady speed? Motor mounts will act up when starting movement, or when switching from drive to reverse and then accelerating. If bucking and surging while driving it could several things. Does the yellow check engine light come on?
