Could you possibly torque down the phasers before reapplying tension to not have to worry about putting pressure on the guides rails and tensioner, also could you use a pair of vise grip on the cams locked against the other cam or intake surface to prevent the cam tool from flying and having to use a wrench and extender?
Yea you can use a vise grip to hold the cams. You could also index a wrench on the cams with the alignment tool still installed and tighten before pulling the wedge on the tensioner 👍
Nifty, but once you're that deep into it wouldn't you want to replace the other components while you're there? I guess if you've already been in there a few times dealing with phaser issues then the other parts may have low miles on them.
My Ford dealer is doing this to my 2018 next week, I can only hope they're as well versed at this as you. Unfortunately warranty not covering my low milage (under 50,000) truck because I'm in Canada. My letter and subsequent call to Ford Canada fell on deaf ears.
@@n8eman Yes, my local Ford dealer did the job. They're a very small dealership and their service is very good. They quoted me about $3000 Canadian to do the job, it took them less time than they thought and in the end billed me $2450 + tax to do the job. Truck is nice a quiet now and I'm pleased with their work. Funny enough they're cheaper than my local mom and pop garage for regular service like oil changes, brakes etc. I'm still pissed at Ford of Canada though, I think they should have picked up the tab on this one.
Hope this actually fixes it. I have a 2012 that i would get this done if I knew it would be the end of my troubles. I'll end up getting a new truck eventually
So im concerning doing my phasers myself. Just wondering could a person just remove one camshaft and get the space you need to replace the phaser without removing the whole front cover?
That I don't know. Workshop manual does not say. With crankshaft sprocket keyway at 11:00 o'clock position, camshaft holding tool 303-1655 will index with both camshafts. If tool will not slide on camshafts then they are aligned properly.
Ford warranty reimbursement is just under 10 hours. If out of warranty then I believe labor time is around 13.5hr. Probably looking at minimum $2000 labor plus parts. All depends on shop's labor rate.
2011 3.5 will have a single primary chain and two secondary chains, different than the later gen 3.5L in this video. The gen one 3.5 with single primary chain can stretch but don't think the phasers are prone to making noise.

Ford warranty only pays for new phasers but yea, if it were higher mileage and my vehicle then I'd do everything 👍
Good job

Your dealer should be well rehearsed on this job 👍 🤞 That's news to me. What is Ford powertrain warranty in Canada?
@@raincitywrench117 5 years 100,000 kilometers (about 62,000 miles). Mine timed out, the rattling started about 2 months after my warranty expired.
Mine is similar.@@allanrheaume5549

The third design seems to be the fix on the second gen Ecoboost. I haven't seen one come back yet...
Ya I have a 2011 f150 ecoboost that I have regretted buying ever since I turned over about 90k miles…
Next truck will definitely be a 5.0 lol.
Hi, Are you doing a Lincoln MKT 2010 EcoBoost 3.5 V6 engine rebuild?
The little clip on the tensioner, does this have to be moved all the way to the backside of the plunger after pulling the pin?
No. It just kind of rides wherever it wants to. Most of the time around the middle.
Well done. A little off topic, curious if you've ever seen the oil pump drive belt fail on the 2.7 ecoboost. TIA
Thanks! Nope, not yet....
This is great
Привет. Ты занимаешься ремонтом двигателя Lincoln MKT 2010. EcoBoost 3.5 V6 ?
What brand cam locking tool do you have?
Lisle 37230. About $65 bucks but you can get off brands for half that.
excellent !!
Thank you! Cheers!
So im concerning doing my phasers myself. Just wondering could a person just remove one camshaft and get the space you need to replace the phaser without removing the whole front cover?
Unfortunately the valve covers and front cover have to be removed. There is no way to remove and install the phaser bolts with the front cover on 😓

How many links are between each mark of the chain on the passenger side?
That I don't know. Workshop manual does not say. With crankshaft sprocket keyway at 11:00 o'clock position, camshaft holding tool 303-1655 will index with both camshafts. If tool will not slide on camshafts then they are aligned properly.
Greetings ; wondering why you had to install the 2 phasers at the same time ?
If the tensioner and guides are left in place then there isn't quite enough slack to install one at a time but if both are done together, no problem 👌
2017 3.5 Ecoboost with 58k on it and no noise. Is it worth doing this now ? Thanks
Looks like it's out of warranty. I wouldn't tough it unless it starts making noise. You may get lucky & never have a problem 🤞
Will this work on a 2017 ford f150?
If it's a 3.5L Ecoboost, yes. The Duratec is a different design.
What’s the cost of this job usually? I’m also in WA if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Pocision delos árboles de levas 3.5 ecoboost
Can you get my mechanic to do this for me? Jk jk, my truck is a 2011 with 175k, so I might as well just do a full timing chain.
