econoline van
1)we're trying to install a timing chain kit on a 2000 ford econoline van 4.6 v8
2)we set the camshaft pulley on tdc
3)the camshaft pully's(sprocket) set on about four o'clock
4)if we take the timing chain off we won't be able install the other timing chain because the camshaft pulley's(sprocket) was in the four o'clock position
5)how can we get the crankshaft pully set on tdc and the camshaft pulley(sprocket) in about the 11:00 to 2:00 position so we can take the timing chain off and install the other timing chain

ford econoline
thank you for your reply1)the romeo manual says that after the timing chain cover was uninstalled, just rotate the crankshaft so the camshaft socket marks are near 11:00 and 12:00
2)so would it be correct to say it wouldn't be needed to set the crankshaft pulley to tdc or any other angle before uninstalling the timing chain cover

I really don't know much about this topic. I only volunteered the Manual pages because I have them.
I do know that this is an interference engine which means rotating the cam and crank separately can cause valve to piston contact and engine damage.
