3.9L Jaguar engine in '00 Lincoln
Hello everyone. This is my first post. Have this '00 Lincoln that has the 3.9L Jag engine in it. It was a flood car. Got everything working electrical.
The engine was tight, so we took it down to the block and freed it up. Need the three "special tools" that are required to set the timing.
crankshaft holding tool - # 303-645
camshaft locking tool - # 303-530
timing chain tensioner tool - #303-532
I found these to be very expensive and I am looking for a place to rent these tools.
Any help would be appreciated. I live in Bellevue,OH 44811, if anyone has any suggestions

Hi There, and Welcome.
In the "Private for Sale" section is this listing from Fla Steve:
Tools for Rent
I just purchased the Cam Timing Tools to do the tensioners, chains, guides etc. on my car. I have two Cam Locking Bars (Camshaft setting tool), the Crankshaft setting/lockdown, two Primary Timing Chain Wedges and the Chain Tensioning tool. These cost me $410 plus shipping. Typically when you rent them, say from Motorcars LTD, you only get one Cam lockdown bar and they charge $125 plus a big deposit.
The job is not that difficult but it is involved. This Forum has excellent articles plus other sources that gave me the to courage to do it myself. I saved over $1300 in labor. Now I'd like to recoup some of the cost for the tools. Contact me at "ssmoleroff@aol.com".
Hope that helps!
