Timing on a 4.6

[hocuz77]

Has anyone timed their 4.6? Any tips and tricks? I am I the process of putting the divers side cams in and I think I have to RIP off the timing cover. I rather not because of tremendous amount of dissassembly but it seems like it's the only option as I can't see the timing chain on the lower sprocket. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I assume you have a lot of experience rebuilding this type of TAU V8. Its a very complicated engine.

no it ****ing isn't. Not even hardly complicated at all. Why do people on here keep saying that? It's not special. Our cars are not special at all. Jesus people....

I agree at least the mechanical side. Newer engines work basically the same as 10-20ish years ago. Main difference is quality, tolerances and all the electrical sensors running the show.

If you are ok diagnosing electrical circuits, these engines are not complicated. Though the 5.0 is pretty sweet 😎

I worked on aircraft in a past life so I'm pretty good at following directions. Unfortunately the hyundai service manual is not up to par with others i have used before. The engine is pretty straight forward but a pain in the ass getting to things. Right now I'm am held up trying to take the crank pulley off. I really don't feel like buying a hyundai flywheel stopper so I have used my chain strap wrench but no luck.
