How to change the timing chain in a 3.0L v6 Ford motor?

Please Help! My Ford Freestyle won't run and mechanic said timing chain is loose.

You get your mechanic to do it or buy a good manual showing you how to do it. I could do it for you but it's doubtful you live anywhere near me and it's cold in the driveway, which is normally where I'd do it.

If you have to ask how to do it, then you probably don't have the skillset to perform the job. This is going to involve disassembling a fair portion of the engine. It's not like changing the oil or anything, it's pretty involved job.

  • How much does it cost to get timing chain done? Recently we bought a car 08 ford crown victoria at a car auction. It had a blown head gasket and we had a friend fix it for us, he put it all together and now car won't start. He thinks he did the timing chain wrong. Was wondering how much it would cost to take it to an actual mechanic to redo the timing chain. Also he thinks one of the heads are bad so how much would that cost as well?

  • Is 2600 dollars a fair price in ford for a broken rear timing chain cassette on a 2006 explorer? I took my explorer to ford and they diagnosed that the noice I been asking about is coming from a the rear timing chain cassette. So they have to pull the motor out and service the broken cassette. My problem is I'm getting charged 600 bucks for parts and I found in ford parts the timing chain kit is only 255.33 plus tax I know a couple of gaskets need to be put on but I have doubts that is 600 dollars worth in parts
