I got it running today. Here's how I checked the accuracy of the 4* advance: With it at TDC, I installed the chain in the 4* advanced position. and moved the crank (without moving the cam), until the gears and chain went on. I temp installed the timing cover and put the damper on far enough...

Post a photo showing the part number on the cover. Arn't there two different seals?

For new? Yes. That does seem alittle loose. That's typical of older setup. At least what I've seen. Not to say it's of every case.

When you measure for pushrods you need to set the adjuster at 9/32 inch or .281 thou. That is the Chrysler specified number and that’s where they should be. I don’t have the book at hand, but IIRC the spec is 9/32 out plus .010 minus .000 It’s critical the adjuster is at the right depth. I...

Somebody was smart lol, nice!

I don’t disagree. The real issue is that the quality of most chains produced today is not great and they stretch, thus causing other issues like timing jumping around due to the “whip” of the chain. I went down this rabbit hole 2 years ago. We tried 5 different timing lights, 2 different...

I have a stock 340 double roller timing in a 273 with 300,000 miles on it. Engine starts in a heartbeat and runs great. Mild performance, no serious valve spring pressures or crazy fast lobes.

Here's what a 360 Magnum looks like dressed like a "day 2" 340. I used all LA front, including alternator, all brackets, power steering ,pulleys, valve covers etc. One ***** was to get the bypass hose to fit. Also getting a lower rad hose that worked properly. Let me know if I can help further.

I thought slantys did not have chains

I'll have to give that a look but if all checks out how would i go about doing a compression test

...it would have foamed the oil. A lot of owners/builders have opted for the tensioner found in later model mopar V6 engines. It will oil the timing chain and take up slack in it also. First example my quick search found... Chrysler V6 timing chain tensioner for 318 V8 - Bing video

...or broken timing cover, and are tired of searching junkyards and swap meets for a replacement? If so, these Mopar Performance aluminum timing chain covers should put a smile on your face. They are all-new castings that have precision-machined gasket and sealing surfaces for superior leak...

No, this isn't a Pontiac, but it works exactly the same: conrods, crank, pistons, timing chain etc, etc. If you do the bolt up tight enough, the dampener won't move [ it is not a balancer, it is a harmonic dampener that has been balanced ]. There has never been any problems such as broken...

...the ID of the sprocket is "honed "out a little bit. The reason I like the cam bushing better. You need to remove the cam sprocket and timing chain to be able to remove the crank sprocket and change the keyway, then you need to use a puller/installer to R&R the crank sprocket. Why do the extra...

Did u use the rockers ?

It would take a lot off Lucas, or any other goo to quiet a timing chain. You'd literally have to fill the engine to the top of the cam sprocket. This would make it impossible for the pistons to move, immobilizing the crankshaft. An engine with no moving parts is going to be quiet.

Always searching for new info, I'm wondering what symptoms of lack of lubrication to the timing set is showing. We've built the BBlks and Hemisback in the day, had a 340 Barracuda running 2/10s off the NHRA record. Lotsa really stout street engines with UBER valve springs. We also build, repair...

Whats the best timing chain cover to use with the conversion? I only want to run alternator as running electric power steering pump etc With the lower hose when i run retrofit items sometimes you can get lucky with the hose shape required, i bend stiff wire to the shape i need then go to a

well, when I was ready to button up the front of my slant, I did ask myself, where does the oil come from? It's like the chain functions on very little lubrication as it gets something from the crank, and cam bearings. That being said, it's existed for generations that way. I'm just doing cause...

I think I would chamfer it just "a bit" more, but you certainly have the idea! You especially want to "open up" the chamfer to the oil groove in the bearing pretty good.

i don't see any replies here so thisd is my exp with him. i ordered his eq lev 1 mag heads STEEL ROLLERS head gaskets timing chain rocker studs guides . now what i got was alum rockers no name china and was told he doesn't know anyone that makes steel rollers for magnums. WELL we all know they...

...chamfer? All you have to do is knock that 90 degree corner off the bearing from the outside to the oil groove, so it will squirt oil out along the chamfer and onto the timing chain. You do it to the upper bearing half that's in the engine, on the same side as the bearing lock tang. Nuthin to it.

...in the middle of the main oil passage plug? It's a little big, ain't it? That's cause it's a beeotch to drill a .040" hole without the bit breaking. So, my solution is to tap it to 1/4 x 32 UNF and screw a Holley .040" main jet into it. Problem solved and the timing chain now has pressurized...

Quick vid on teardown progress. Any suggestions on assessing the crank journals appreciated. I might just have to get it inspected by the machinist down the street. Definitely need all new bearings, rings, cylinder honing, oil pump and timing chain to get comfortable with the rebuild.

Oil pan sold. If anyone’s interested in the crank and timing chain cover I’ll do $50 for both local pick up. Thanks

...hard to see. No more than a balancer costs, I would replace it vs doing a repair sleeve. I suspect that you are probably replacing the timing chain too if it is sloppy. All of this can be a bit daunting if you haven't done it a lot, so hang in there...

...all back together though and cold starts and throttle response seem to be much better. and it seems my timing jumping around was in the timing chain slack because it's gone now with the new 440 source chain. i plan to get it out tomorrow and see how it drives! i also got some new 275s for the...

Well, the oil.pump and pick up are working or you wouldn't have oil pressure. The intake doesn't have oil running through it so that's not an issue.

I couldn’t tell you about the starter since I’ve only ever run mini starters on mine. As for the oil pan, you can run either timing chain cover with either oil pan, but if you are using an la oil pan, it needs to be a 360 pan (which you already have)

What side of the chain do those tensioners work on? If the "downwind"(following) side it will pull the cam timing "retarded" and will retard cam timing worse than if the chain slip was allowed to "float". Though it will hold it more consistent and not "bounce"as the chain does wear. I have a...
