Description of πŸ”§ Enhance Engine Precision with OTC 6024 Crankshaft Positioning Tool for Ford

OTC Crankshaft Positioning Tool for use on 1993 and newer Ford 4.2L V6; 4.6L 2 valve and 4.6L 4-valve V8, 5.4L V8, and 6.8L V10 engines - same as Ford No. 303-448. Handy tool prevents accidental movement of the crankshaft when doing camshaft or timing chain service or installation on these 'interference' engines. Preventing timing misalignment on these 'interference' design Ford engines is critical as valves will contact pistons if timing chain is installed in an incorrect position, resulting in severe damage. Simply install crankshaft positioning tool over crankshaft snout (aligning crankshaft woodruff key with keyway on tool) and engine front cover alignment dowel to correctly position crank at TDC. OTC recommends (but does not require) that the No. 6024 Crankshaft Alignment Tool be used with Nos. 6009 and 6020 Camshaft alignment tools to safeguard alignment when servicing cams or chains.

Time, headache and possibly money saved.

The tool was recommended for my 2010 F150 5.4 3v when night trimming. This tool made setting the time mindless. Align the tool with the handle and small pin on the block and you're done.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Everything ok

Does what it's supposed to do

This tool costs more than it should, but it gives you the confidence to set the time in your truck. No need to guess if that keyway is at 1000, 1030, or 1100. Slide the tool into place, set the crankshaft position and cam timing, knowing you're done.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Not bad

It's a must-have tool for customization you can.

Essential tool for adjusting timing chains. I was surprised that most people didn't know how to use this YouTube tool properly. Most people put the tool in the correct position and cycle the tool on and off as they tighten the cam chains. The tool is specially designed to work with the can chain on the bottom sprocket. So you can set it and forget it. I personally would never set the time on my Ford truck without this tool. It's worth every penny!

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive

The only true. Fits 5.4L 3V

Finally! I ordered one off e Bay to save a few bucks as hopefully I'll only need it once and it won't fit. Then I turned around and ordered another cheap one from Amazon and it didn't fit either so I sent it back. As most others say (because they sell the same cheap fake rubbish on Amazon & E Bay) they don't fit the crank key and neither does the dowel pin fit the fake. The cheap stuff just isn't cut right: the groove for the crankshaft keyway is too small, and the dowel pin hole on the tool is

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
