Resetting Timing Chain Tensioner 07 Ford Edge 3.5L
In this video I'll show how to reset a timing chain tensioner on an 07 Ford Edge 3.5L. The process is a simple one. First, the ratchetting mechanism has to be unlocked. This is achieved by pushing it forward as shown in the video. Once it is unlocked then the piston can be pushed back into the tensioner. A soft jaw vise or a c-clamp will assist in pushing the piston back in. Be sure if you are not using a soft jaw vise to protect the ends of the tensioner. You do not want to damage the surfaces. The same thing goes for the c-clamp. Once the piston is pushed in all the way lock it into places with a pin as shown in the video. Bolt the tensioner back up to the engine block. Release the piston by removing the pin. That's it!
Note: If the piston is pushed in to far you will not be able to lock it. You'll notice that the teeth of the ratchetting mechanism have to set into the ridges on the top of the piston. If the teeth cannot set into those ridges you will not be able to lock it into place because the leaver will not go back far enough to be locked into place. The goal is to get the piston as far in as possible and still be able to lock it.
