Description

The Micro-Tec Timing Tool Set for Ford Engines is a professional diesel engine setting and locking kit engineered for precise timing system service, alignment, and repair. Designed for chain-driven diesel engines, this kit includes all essential components needed to correctly position and lock the camshaft, crankshaft, flywheel, and high-pressure pump during timing adjustments or component replacement. This set features a camshaft setting plate, flywheel locking pin, crankshaft turning tool, and the HP pump sprocket retaining tool, which is crucial during pump removal and installation. The included crankshaft locking tool (114 320) is indispensable when replacing the oil pump chain, both timing chains, and gears for the high-pressure pump and balancer shaft. Timing chain wear is a known issue on several diesel engine families, and using a professional setting/locking kit helps prevent severe engine damage. Early symptoms — such as rattling noises from the rear of the engine — may indicate chain stretch, link damage, or imminent failure. This tool set ensures accurate alignment, reduces repair risk, and supports technicians in performing high-value engine timing work safely and correctly.
