Sykes-Pickavant tools simplify Ford EcoBoost engine servicing

Sykes-Pickavant is highlighting two tools designed to assist workshops with the precise servicing of Ford’s 1.0L EcoBoost engines. The company notes that due to the complexity of these engines, which are found in popular models from the Fiesta to the Transit Courier, having the right equipment is essential for accuracy and efficiency.

The 80062000 Gear Belt Installation/Removal Tool is specifically for the installation of crankshaft pulley bolts on 1.0L EcoBoost and 1.1 NA engines. As these bolts require high torque—up to 1,500 Nm—the tool features a 5:1 torque multiplier. This allows technicians to apply the necessary force safely using a standard torque wrench, preventing potential engine damage or bolt failure. The tool is designed with OEM equivalency and includes dual socket sizes (21mm and 24mm) to fit original equipment bolts.

The 07862000 Engine Timing Kit is used to lock the engine in the correct position during timing belt replacements. This is crucial for preventing costly timing errors. The kit is compatible with a wide range of Ford models, including the Fiesta, Focus, and Mondeo, and covers numerous engine codes from M1DA to SFJB. It comes in a durable storage case for organisation and transport.

Using these tools is presented as a way to protect the engine, reduce comebacks, and save time for workshops. Garages can contact their Sykes-Pickavant distributor to acquire the tools and handle EcoBoost servicing with confidence.
