Carter AFB 9636 ?

dodge freak - Yeah - before I tear it down I am going to check TDC using a positive stop installed in the #1 spark plug hole. If it checks correctly I plan on getting an extension for my dial indicator and put it down thru the #1 intake pushrod hole and check the centerline that way, no major tear down required to do this - just pull the plugs, radiator, and the valve covers release the valve train and do it.

Timing chain was a new cloyes tru roller set - I doubt there was a problem with it, but anythings possible.
