14 Take the weight of the engine and remove
the two engine bearer-to-mounting nuts.
15 Lift the engine/transmission, at the same
time lowering the trolley jack. Draw the unit
forwards and lift it out of the engine bay.
16 Temporarily refit the anti-roll bar if the
vehicle is to be moved.
1 With the engine and gearbox on the bench,
remove the starter motor.
2 Remove the bolt from the engine adapter plate.
3 Remove the bracing strap and the
remaining engine-to-bellhousing bolts.
4 With the aid of an assistant draw the
gearbox off the engine. Do not allow the weight
of the gearbox to hang on the input shaft.
1 It is best to mount the engine on a
dismantling stand, but if this is not available,
stand the engine on a strong bench at a
comfortable working height. Failing this, it will
have to be stripped down on the floor.
2 Cleanliness is most important, and if the
engine is dirty, it should be cleaned with
paraffin while keeping it in an upright position.
3 Avoid working with the engine on a concrete
floor, as grit can be a real source of trouble.
4 As parts are removed, clean them in paraffin.
However, do not immerse parts with internal
oilways in paraffin as it is difficult to remove,
usually requiring a high pressure hose.
5 It is advisable to have suitable containers to
hold small items according to their use, as this
will help when reassembling the engine and
also prevent possible losses.
6 Always obtain complete sets of gaskets
when the engine is being dismantled, but
retain the old gaskets with a view of using
them as a pattern to make a replacement if a
new one is not available.
7 When possible, refit nuts, bolts and washers
in their location after being removed, as this
helps protect the threads and will also be
helpful when reassembling the engine.
8 Retain unserviceable components in order
to compare them with the new parts supplied.
9 A Torx key, size T55, will be needed for
dealing with the cylinder head bolts. A 12-
spline key (to fit bolt size M8) will be needed
for the oil pump bolts. Other Torx and 12-
spline bolts may be encountered; sets of the
keys required to deal with them are available
from most motor accessory shops and tool
factors.
10 Another tool which is useful, though by no
means essential, is a valve spring compressor
of the type which hooks under the camshaft
(see illustration). As a Ford tool this bears the
number 21-005-A; proprietary versions may
also be available.
Before dismantling the engine into its main
components, the following ancillary
components can be removed. The actual
items removed, and the sequence of removal,
will depend on the work to be done:
Inlet manifold and associated items
Exhaust manifold
Fuel pump (mechanical type) and pushrod
Alternator
Distributor, HT leads and spark plugs
Fan, water pump and thermostat
Oil pressure switch (see illustration)
Temperature gauge sender
Oil filter and dipstick
Engine bearer arms (see illustration)
Crankcase ventilation components
Clutch
Alternator mounting bracket (see
illustration)
1 If the engine is still in the vehicle, carry out
the following preliminary operations:
a)
Disconnect the battery negative lead
b) Drain the cooling system
c) Remove the inlet and exhaust manifolds
d) Disconnect the radiator top hose from the
thermostat housing, and the spur from the
expansion tank
e) Disconnect the wiring from the
temperature gauge sender
f) Remove the distributor cap, HT leads and
spark plugs
2 Unscrew the bolts and withdraw the timing
cover (see illustration). Note the location of
the cover in the special bolt.
3 Using a socket on the crankshaft pulley bolt.
turn the engine clockwise until the TDC (top
dead centre) notch on the pulley is aligned
with the pointer on the crankshaft front oil seal
housing, and the pointer on the camshaft
sprocket is aligned with the indentation on the
cylinder head (see illustrations). Note the
position of the distributor rotor arm, and mark
its contact end in relation to the rim of the
distributor body.
4 Slacken the timing belt tensioner bolts. Pivot
