Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What does a timing set do?
   A timing set synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring that the engine’s valves open and close at the correct time relative to the pistons’ movement.
2. Why should I replace my timing set?
   Over time, timing chains can stretch, leading to inaccurate valve timing, resulting in reduced engine performance, poor fuel economy, and potentially catastrophic engine damage if the chain breaks.
3. How do I know if my engine has a 2-piece rear main seal?
   The 2-piece rear main seal is typically found on older Ford Windsor engines, generally pre-1980s. The oil pan rail will have a distinct step where the rear main cap meets the block. Newer engines typically use a 1-piece rear main seal, which has a rounder oil pan rail in that area. If unsure, consult your engine’s service manual or visually inspect the oil pan rail.
4. Do I need any special tools to install this timing set?
   Yes, installing a timing set often requires specialized tools such as a crankshaft holding tool, and a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening of bolts. Refer to your vehicle’s service manual for detailed instructions.
5. How do I know if this timing set fits my specific Ford Windsor engine?
   The TS358 is specifically for Ford Windsor engines with a 2-piece rear main seal. However, it’s crucial to verify the compatibility with your exact engine year and displacement. Please check the product specifications or contact our support team with your engine details for confirmation.
6. Should I replace the water pump and oil pump when replacing the timing set?
   It is often recommended to replace the water pump, especially on higher-mileage engines, as it is often located behind the timing cover and is easier to access during this service. The oil pump is usually driven separately on these engines.
