Do You need Timing pin for Zetec engine?
After fussing with the timing belt on a Zetec engine, I bought this and it made the job much easier. The pin wouldn’t fit in with the exhaust in the way, but gently bending the heat shield a bit allowed for it to slip into place without removing the entire exhaust. The pin fits great and was a must have for the job. 5.0 out of 5 stars Don’t guess!

How to remove oil plug from Zetec VCT hub?
Use a large wrench to hold the intake cam in place while you use a Torx bit (T55 I think) to loosen the intake cam bolt. You only need to loosen it enough so that you can move the cam gear free of the cam. Now, use the wrench and the same bit to remove the oil plug from the VCT hub.
How do you find the TDC on a Zetec?
You can use a screwdriver to locate TDC on the crank. Remove the spark plug from cylinder one (closest to the timing belt) and carefully insert a long screwdriver. Rotate the crank and watch the screwdriver move. When you get to TDC on number one, the screwdriver will travel up then start back down.
