The Lisle 37200 was created to match the timing service needs of Ford’s 3.5L (2007–2016, non-turbo 2017) and 3.7L (2009 and newer) engines, simplifying the procedure and reducing risk of misalignment while you work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Lisle 37200 maintain camshaft alignment during timing chain service?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tool provides dedicated locating points that engage factory slots and surfaces on the camshaft assembly to hold both camshafts in their timed positions. This prevents rotation while the chain or related components are removed, which helps preserve engine timing and simplifies reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecision fit to factory camshaft features for secure engagement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHolds camshafts fixed during chain removal and installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces risk of timing errors and the need to re-time components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat parts of the timing system does the kit address?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBesides camshaft alignment, the Lisle 37200 includes a holding fixture for the secondary chain tensioner so the tensioner can be locked out while you replace the chain or related components.

It fits 3.5L engines produced from 2007 through 2016 and non-turbo 2017 models, and it is compatible with 3.7L engines from 2009 onward.
