I have a small pond on top of timing chain cover the substance is antifreeze. See photos. And please help. The pond is very small and when I wipe with paper towel the paint comes with it. Is this dangerous. Antifreeze leaking into timing chain?

So, s10 2.2 develops a rattle at idle when hot. Its the common timing chain tensioner. My local supplier doesent stock the chain kit or gaskets. Rock otto is 1/2 the money so thats what my plan is next. And a new muffler.

...The valve covers were stuck and so was the front cover. Taking more time than I thought, but I think it always does. Just look at the timing chain setup on this 3.5. One large timing chain, and then two more behind each sets of gears that you see above to the right and left. Will be changing...

Yes it does, now I have a direction. definitely a new Timing Chain, oil pump, cam an lifters. Any suggestions on Cam?

I didn't want to highjack the op question on cam timing, but I do have a question about it. When installing a timing chain I always brought up #1 on the compression stroke, turned the cam gear to the 6 o'clock position and the crank gear to the 12 o'clock position, then I installed the...

They are originally designed for V6 Magnum engines. I would get the Cloyes or Melling. 2000 DODGE DAKOTA 3.9L V6 Timing Chain Tensioner | RockAuto

Get a Rollmaster set. We had the same issue with a comp bottom sprocket on a different engine SB Chevy . The customer bought the timing set. We tried a rollmaster that was here for a different engine and it was snug enough we could not push it on by hand without some force. So it was not the...

SMH......No one has asked how stock or old the short block is. Can you say timing chain?

If it is the timing set ( Likely on an original LA engine) you can istall one of the V-6 chain tensioners with the new timing set. I have done that on all of my LA rebuilds. Sorry I missed your truck at the show it sure is a nice example. Good luck!

I will check that, but the distributor is new along with the timing chain, I know that doesn't mean a lot when things happen but just wanted to throw that out there.

How does it idle? Popping out exhaust is the spark firng or explosion happebning when exhaust valve is open timing chain is set right? 15 BTDC sounds advanced by about 5 degrees and I think by static you mean initial timing as in timing at idle with no advance? static timing is the timing chain...

Thanks, I should be able to get the timing chain cover off this weekend, hopefully there is a # on the end of the cam shaft? Adjustable pushrod is ordered.

Looking for something not cover in grease lol can be later cover 1970 and up shipped to 91770 thanks!

I never have understood why people are so scared to drill a .040" hole through the thrust plate right in line with the main oil galley so the timing chain gets pressurized oil. It's just so easy to do and costs nothing.

In the middle of a timing chain replacement. 1971 318 LA block. I purchased a new timing cover for my Duster from Mancini racing because the OEM cover has bad corrosion at the water jackets and about to penetrate cover in many areas to the internals of the timing chain. With the new cover...

Timing chain slipped (wonder if the timing gear teeth are tipped like the OE plastic ones were) or dist drive gear is damaged

1973 Dodge B200 van 360, 727, 8 3/4 Driven regularly, front suspension work, tires and front brakes done within the last year, timing chain, waterpump, front dampner replaced as well. Located outside of Sacramento, in Orangevale CA. $5800 obo

I suspect it’s the timing chain/timing gear, I replaced many over the years. Pontiac used a nylon timing gear in those years and when they wear out and the chain stretches causing a noise that sounds like a gear drive. They eventually wear enough to cause the chain to jump and potentially...

We can sure get at opposite ends of the spectrum here! I have a Rollmaster timing chain set up on my 418 stroker with that stupid hole in the bolt, drip plate, and slinger, been there for 3 years or so now. Just had the pan and timing cover off for something else and the chain is probably...

The nieces' Ford Edge crapped a water pump, and since Ford is pants-on-head retarded, the water pump is behind the timing chain(s). From Ford, this is like $800 in parts if I'm going to replace chains and guides while I'm there. Enter Rock Auto. I find a timing chain set from SA Gear. Is it...

I see a lot of people fretting over timing chain slack on cam in block engines (OHC is entirely different.) I personally think this mindset is a byproduct of the plastic top sprockets of the 70's that were supposed to quiet engine noise. Those things were gone in 70K miles. But this is not the...

...@PRH I checked under both valve covers and things look fine. No obvious bent pushrods or anything looking out of place. @tonysrt the timing chain was replaced during the rebuild. @mygasser can you describe the test to check for stretch in the timing chain more? What is the rotor arm you...

I am working on a 68 340 with a bolt on sheet metal timing mark. With this kind of set up, does it matter which timing chain cover I get to replace my about to fail cover?

Timing chain is in an engine that I know i didn't drive much. I bought the car this was in around 2013 and it came out of the car around 2014 after being driven by me for a few months. This engine has been in my shed for over a decade and I had no idea the timing chain has like no slack...

Is it red? Post a picture of it.

I glass bed this and threw some paint on it..Made in Cananda.Nice piece for the age.$40.Keene Nh.US Postal money order only

you also might want to revisit the timing work or turn the distributor a bit while cranking and see what happens. this could also help you if the chain has jumped.

So, did you send it all back?

All good suggestions. This is the tensioner being used on another build. The guy said while it's not necessary it does keep the chain tight and timing on point when the chain starts to stretch. I'll decide later if I want to add one to a Cloyes double roller. Not sure there is a right or...

1964 dart with 273, had coolant leak after short drive looked for source of leak and seen crack in timing chain cover attached a pic you can see crack above fuel pump. My question, would this be the source Of leak? My thought was unless thread sealer is compromised it shouldn’t leak coolant...
