how to install camshaft synchronizer in explorer

I will always spend more money on a better product if It will save me problems in the future and more so when I spend time to customize a part. If this were my GT-40 I would have ordered the origional Motorcraft part. I bought and installed the A-1 with no problems so far. I then found two other options: 1.Origional Motorcraft-$150Ģ.Remanufactured A-1 Cardone (which use Motorcraft casing and sensors)-$65 The origional Motorcraft were lasting 70K+ miles. The average life of Dorman was reported between 5K-20K miles.(Low quality bushing material and complaints of non hardened roll pins) I now started to research and found other people on multiple sites (Ranger and Taurus Forums) posting on their results with the Dorman drive and sensor. Her car has the 3.0 Vulcan motor, which came in both ford cars and trucks. I returned the Dorman back to Napa and got my money back. I was not impressed with the tolerences or the quality (FYI ,Dorman is made in China). I purchased the only one that Napa had which happened to be Dorman brand. It may look like a distributor and use the same drive arrangement but it is not a distributor.Earlier this year I replaced the crank angle sensor in my wife's 3.0 Taurus. In any event, the module on top of the CMP is what fails in Oz cars and it can be replaced without pulling it out or risking moving the position of the CMP shaft and gear relative to the cam gears. In essence unlike a distributor that needs to be fitted within plus or minus a degree there is an awful lot of tolerance in fitting the CMP relative to timing. The manual goes on to explain further: ' The CMP rising edge must occur between 5 degrees BTDC (cylinder 1 and 45 degrees ATDC (cylinder 1). This is not the correct interpretation in fact it means that unlike the distributor that usually sits there, the actual position of the CMP is not critical. As the Oz factory manuals say: 'the actual adjustment of the CMP (camshaft position) sensor is not critical as its purpose is only to identify which part of the cycle cylinder number 1 is in.' This is sometimes incorrectly interpreted as meaning proper working of the CMP is not critical. If it works like the ones fitted to Australian (Oz) made 6 cylinder cars (Falcons etc) it doesn't matter.
