Handy tool prevents accidental movement of the crankshaft when doing camshaft or timing chain service or installation on these 'interference' engines. Preventing timing misalignment on these 'interference' design Ford engines is critical as valves will contact pistons if the timing chain is installed in an incorrect position, resulting in severe damage. Simply install crankshaft positioning tool over crankshaft snout (aligning crankshaft woodruff key with keyway on tool) and engine front cover alignment dowel to correctly position crank at TDC. OTC recommends (but does not require) that the No. 6024 Crankshaft Alignment Tool be used with Nos. 6009 and 6020 Camshaft alignment tools to safeguard alignment when servicing cams or chains. Tool is same as Ford No. 303-448. Value is at the core of the OTC tool and equipment portfolio. For a simple repair or the most complex drivability concern, these award-winning tools universally solve problems faster, and at better value, than any other product line available. Whether it’s a specialty tool or unique piece of service equipment, OTC provides top solutions to modern automotive service challenges while increasing technicians’ productivity and shop profits.

I originally purchased a cheap version of this tool and it did not fit correctly on the crankshaft. This one fits. OTC is charging a bit much for it but at least it works!

Fit great and timed my 2010 5.4l great. Super easy and quick. I got the cheap tool before and the slot wasn't far enough over to fit into the pin and I had to drill it out more. This is worth the money. Just think, is the $60 difference worth risking out of time and redoing the job? That's a whole lot more time and money.

Works perfectly, if you’re doing a timing job on your 5.4 l 3v spend the extra money and get this one.

Spent the high dollar price for this since it’s important to get the timing set perfectly during the timing job. The reviews on the knock off brands weren’t very good, a lot of them said it wouldn’t fit the crankshaft. The OTC tool worked perfectly and it was a new tool.

The tool does fit the crank but does not fit over the block dowel pin as indicated. The slot in the tool needs to be longer. It will work to give an accurate measurement if you look at it straight ahead.

Finally!!! Ordered one from e bay tryna save a couple bucks since I will only need it once hopefully and it didnt fit. Then turned around and ordered another cheap one from amazon and it didnt fit either so I returned it. Like most others say (because they are selling the same cheap knockoff trash on amazon & e bay) they crankshaft key way wont fit as well as the alignment dowel wont fit in the knockoff. The cheapo is just flat out cut wrong with too small of a slot for the crankshaft keyway as well as the alignment dowel hole on the tool is cut too small.Finally decided to pay the cost for the OTC one and I should’ve just done it from jump. Fits perfectly and im glad in my desperation to try and get the job done that I didnt try to eyeball it with the crankshaft sprocket dot pointing straight down cuz when I stuck the tool on I was definitely off. Also tried the e bay that I had filed down in the attempt to male it fit. While I was closer than I was with the dot I was still off with that as well despite my best efforts to file both sides of the crank key slot evenly. At the end of the day, dont even mess around with the knockoff...get the OTC tool and get it done right.I highly doubt any one of the other reviews for the knockoff tools are legit unless somehow they got one from a lucky run of tools but I would avoid them like the plague. For all of those who are and will be like me (just getting around to doing their timing job on theor 5.4L 3v, dont mess around tryna cheap out with the non otc tool and then leave urself in a pickle where u are just pressing to get done so u file the tool tryna make it fit or u just eyeball it using the sprocket. Just get the real one. Its the most important and entire point of the job so why not make sure it is done 100% right.

Awesome tool, it's a great time saver and the only simple, accurate way to find TDC. Pretty important on a zero clearance engine. Well worth the money
