I'm putting my friend's Crown Vic back together, that I just put PI heads on. I took off all of the timing stuff for cleaning, and now can't remember how the lower cam gears were oriented on the crankshaft. They both have a built-on spacer, and I don't remember which way they were facing as they came off of the crank. I also have the big gear for the crank position sensor. Anyone have any idea which way these gears face? Also, if anyone has a good link to a write-up on how to set the timing right, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!


EDIT: I meant timing gears, not cam gears. The gears I am referring to are the ones the timing chains go around on the crankshaft. Another question, what car can I give the parts counter at Ford for reference, to order some cam gear retaining bolts? The ones that came out of the NPI heads are too big for the new pi cams.
