Re: 02 Windstar Cam Synchronizer Replacement
TheRealGrezig,
You, my friend, are a risk taker! I would suggest you buy the tool ... make sure you get the one for your year model. While the tool is being shipped/delivered, take some time to look at the crank pulley. It will take some time. Turn the crank until the scribe marks are accessible. Enhance them a little with cleaning and re-marking with white-out or finger nail polish. Then find the timing "pointer". Then have a good cusing at Ford for locating it where it is! If you do some searches on this forum, you should find some other postings with more info.

Re: 02 Windstar Cam Synchronizer Replacement
TheRealGrizeg, without making some kind of reference marks prior to removal you'll have to find TDC on #1 Cyl. I had to scuff up the dampner with sandpaper to see the marks, the center mark is TDC. You'll also have to make sure it it TDC compression stroke. You can pull the #1 plug and watch a compression guage or have an assistant feel for compression coming out of the plug hole. Once TDC compression is found, you'll need to purchase alignment tool, place tool on synchro and reinstall. Make sure you have the shaft that drives the oil pump in place. Hope this helps.
