Right. Use the tensioner and lube it like I said. There is no such thing as a good timing chain. It’s the cheapest way to drive a cam. That’s why OEM’s use them. Not because they are the most durable or accurate because they are neither.

...a polish). then cough up $700(?) for pistons and rings, plus a bore and hone at i'd guess another $400 unless you can get away with just a hone and rings. if the rods need resized? there's another $200. double the price on the waterpump and timing chain to get actual decent parts that will...

I have all of those. They were Master Parts awards. I also have a Fossil Watch and Timing Gears w/ Chain that has a thermometer and barometer. I also have a few mugs, and other SWAG they gave away at guild meetings.

...ran it and life got in the way so into storage the engine went. Wanting to go full roller so the cam is up for sale. I don't have the original box and I will throw in a new double roller timing chain with the deal 250.00 plus shipping. Located in the central coast of California and I prefer...

...for the time being. Strangely after tightening the cam eccentric and cam bolt the play is gone. But regardless I'm going to order a new timing chain and gear set. I'm just going to use the current setup to get the Pistons and rods assembled and then replace the timing set when the new set get...

I know it is a Mopar purple camshaft that’s all the info I have, I had a picture of the part number when I pulled the motor apart to put a new timing chain on it, let me see if I can find it. The engine came out of a challenger, date code is 68 so probably was swapped in some time ago.

Timing chain is pretty new, very little run time

The timing chain has nothing to do with cam walk. The rearward cam thrust is created by the load of the oil pump! The direction of the helical gears on the cam/pump drive want to drive the cam backwards when the pump starts pumping oil....which should be always. The lifter offset is designed to...

Lucas oil treatment is your friend, if you like rolling the dice and not tearing it down to put the new timing chain in. ☆☆☆☆☆

Finally, some of the parts are arriving so hopefully this project can continue. Valley Plate showed up today. Oil pan and windage tray came in last week. The timing cover should be here any day. Now if the timing chain and gears would show up, I could make some progress.

The timing chain drip tab is upside down. :eek:

...rebuilt to 70 specs; steel crank replaced the cast iron one. The only issue I had was I had to replace the harmonic balancer and the timing chain cover. The late 340s had its top dead center mark on the timing chain cover on the driver side, where the early 340s had it on the passenger side...

...Cams Xtreme Energy .484 backed to a stock 904 and convertor. I wouldn't think that would be too much cam a stock convertor. Also when I put a timing light on it, the timing fluctuates 5-10* at idle. I thought that was odd. It has a new timing chain and the distributor hold down bolt is tight.

Looks like it needs a repair sleeve or get a new balancer. See the wear marks in the balancer snout?

I disagree... If it's a virgin 273/318 with the facory nylon tooth timing gear and chain, the first thing to do is replace it with a double roller of any kind, preferably a true roller double roller... The stock factory chains are junk, the nylon gets hard and chips off the teeth, making the...

Hey disagree all you want, I don’t care. But if I got a sub 100k mile 318, and it ran decent, the timing chain still wouldn’t be on my top ten list of things to check/worry about. It would definitely be on my list because you’re right, the original nylon coated timing gears are lame. But unless...

Open the timing chain cover and inspect. A worn nylon top gear on the cam will create slack in the chain that causes it to pile up on the opposite side resulting in a sound exactly like this. The bottom gear is steel so it maintains pull on one side while tension is slack on the other...

Okay, first off if you have timing marks on the driver's side, it's not a '68 318 timing cover. A '68 front cover will use a cast iron water pump with a driver's side inlet. With driver's side timing marks, it should be using the later aluminum water pump with a passenger side inlet. using...

...the park. if you go for the long block, magnums are easy on parts (except cam bearings evidently) and you should be able to get away with a soft parts fluff and fold. stab in a new cam and timing chain and you're set on the short block, just add your go fast goodies and you'll be ready to...

Got the right timing chain cover for your set up?

I've found that by using a quality antifreeze and a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water that the timing chain cover will not get pitted, also it's a good idea to drain and flush the coolant system every 3 - 5 years, I prefer every 3 years.

not just headers...... Basic 318 Mods and...... Timing Chain and...... GM Alternators dan does to be fair ask questions in a much more 'normal' way now though, he doesn't seem to get everyone's back up these days which is great.

...shipping . If I had known that I wouldn't be able to use any of it I would have. Just returning the rockers wasn't worth it but now the timing chain was no good . And I bought high$ valve covers just to run those rockers. I could have spent all that money on a solid roller set up with steel...

...I've took something like this and (while other work is being done..) pulled it apart and inspect everything.. New gaskets and seals, new timing chain, pull the heads apart and drop them off to be tanked and milled a bit... lap the valves and put new seals in.... ***If the budget can...

This ^^^^^. That way, you do not need to run a short timing chain.

...what the actual mileage was. For me, it really wasn't worth my time to do all of that cleaning and to renew the gaskets and seals, and not just overhaul it. I could afford it. You should probably replace your timing chain while your at it,and take a good look at your camshaft. Good luck sir!

It DOES NOT MATTER here where the drive gear is. When you reinstall the distributor, you will have to retime the distributor and the wires and then you are right back where you started, having solved nothing. You could have solved the proble much easier by just rotating the the distributor to...

I would have those 4 bolt main cap bolts go into a blind hole,as well as the timing chain cover bolts. Get rid of those sloppy rocker arms. The oil pump pick up tube would have a bigger inside diameter. Get rid of the freeze plugs that are on both sides of the camshaft. I would design the heads...

Work on the basics The compression numbers are fine for that elevation. What was missed is a stretched timing chain which causes an engine to run "late" and contribute to the low power and probably the psi number. With the plugs out set the engine at tdc, distributor cap off, put a breaker...
