Title: Changing camshafts - correct tool?
Post by Tekno on Sep 26^th, 2009, 4:13pm

Hello

Is this good alternative for Ford special tool 15-030A:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400074686457&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Original tool mentioned in: http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/engines/dohc2_3/2300Camshafts.pdf

Does anyone know if someone in UK sells that (in ebay?) Shipping costs from US are big..

Thanks. I'll see if they have reasonable delivery costs.
They don't say it directly on site.. have to wait for them to notice my order.

In page 4, what is "chain tensioner hydraulic plunger" ? I cant find it from www.elcats.ru (http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=fi&js=y&u=www.elcats.ru&sl=ru&tl=en&history_state0=)
Does it have alternative names or what is it's FINIS ?
How much does that cost?

And how much does cost new tappets?

Not after I moved from Germany, check with tero anttila first to get his quote, many Ford items on yatego can are the same price at Finnish FMD or very close. It's just the 24V tensioners that are hard to get, the 2.3 engine is in many car models.

You may get this relatively cheap from a sparepart dealer who resells stuff from Koivunen OY (fixus etc.) as well.

Ok. There is some confusion on 2.0 16V and 2.3 16V tappets. Are tappets itself + springs same? If yes, why 2.3 16V has different finis for tappets+springs -set BUT same finis on tappets and springs separately?
