yup there wasn't much and no noticeable difference when turning the the crank and the movement at the distributor rotor

that's what ended up doing in my '88.. gave it to my older sister and the chain went

I like the cam. Itt sould work well in a 360 with decent heads. I have also used a tensioner. With a quality double roller timing set, it is really unnecessary. They were originally designed for a stock single chain.

Outside the box thinking: Wouldn't it be nice if someone (or a creative mechanic) could come up with a correct length timing chain with a splice link in it? Cut the original loose chain, connect one end of the new chain to the end of the old loose chain. Fish it up around the cam gear, then...

...said. If the bearings and or crank need help, what about the cam bearings? What about the camshaft itself? The lifters? How sloppy is the timing chain? What about the rings? If this is a car you're gonna sell, then shyster it up and unload it. If you plan to keep it, you might want to rethink it.

My thoughts are that different timing chain manufacturers have different specifications for their timing chain sets. I do not mix up different gears and chains, learned that as a kid messing with dirt bikes. Always change the drive chain and gears as a set

Anyone have a use for a good Used 1958 to 1978 Big Block Single Bolt Steel Gear Timing Set. Includes cam gear, crankshaft gear, chain, bolt, washer, and oil slinger. Everything is in very good condition. $25.00. Local pickup, or buyer pays shipping.

Fel Pro 1008´s are a good head gasket choice for this setup, also the 1213´s for the intake. Regarding the timing chain cover Fel Pro TCS 45284 should fit. Michael

I hear that ! My Nephew tore his 340 down because someone said the timing chain jumped. Nope, just a cracked cap....:BangHead:

You mean... gear drive vs timing chain? The timing variance from stretch is zilch with a gear drive. You can hear them more though they make loud and quieter versions.

Hi looking for: Small Block Timing Chain Cover, Water Pump and Oil Pump Bolts. I have searched high and low and cannot find them. Can pay with PayPal Shipping to Boise Idaho 83709 Thanks Jim

...this afternoon, started ran like s##t, barely keep it running, loping, gave it gas seemed to smooth out but when I backed off it wouldn't idle and died. Carb or timing not quite sure which one, almost liked it jumped a timing chain tooth? Anyway at least it's the end of the season up here...

I'm happy with this cam (4 speed 3.23's). I cleaned the lifters, installed a good timing chain, and swapped out the cam bearings.

The one I was talking about: 2002 dodge grand caravan 3.3 V6 pushrod engine, timing chain....loose.

Timing chain and gearset are sold, 35 tooth speedometer gear is sold.

I've had one in my motor for years now. Only issue I ran into was because the cam can move forward, my double roller timing chain was tapping the fuel pump arm off and on. I was able to close up the width of the arm some with a hammer and stop the noise (I think).

There's 15 pages here with "timing chain" in the title. That should be a good start. Study up! =1&o=relevance"]Search results for query: timing chain

I was assembling my magnum and putting a comp 2103 timing chain kit on and the crank gear slides right on and I checked and it has slack on the keyway and slack on the bore of it has anyone had this prob ??? what should I do here?? I know the balancer is going to tighten it down but it seams to...

3 Bolt timing chain set from 440 source with Torrington bearing. (Edited I actually have two of them for sale) Dyno time only roller camshaft was too big probably has 1 hour of run time. The other one was also only used to break in the cam. Thought that I had sold this one. They look identical...

I wouldn't run it, it's just going to get worse. If you're "rebuilding" the engine, I can't conceive of not replacing the timing chain.

We've already told you where it goes. You have several people telling you where it goes. If you weren't going to believe us, then why on Earth did you ask. I tell you what do. Put it where you had it and see how THAT works out. MoparLeo was talking about the METAL oil slinger which goes BEHIND...

...it. Those 3.3 pushrod engines are pretty reliable. Yep, steel gear and no tensioner. Cam in block, relatively short chain. Remember those are not OHC. I've seen well over 300K on those with no issues on timing chains. I bet if you put a new chain on it, you'd probably see close to the same slack.

I do need to run the test again, and use the oil check to verify if it's the pistons rings. The heads were rebuilt in 2021 by a engine building shop including the valves and installing hardened seats so I am pretty confident they are good. I read that low compression numbers across the board...

Have you checked for slop in the timing chain, that can affect timing

@Dne007 take a look at my "cheap & nasty" thread. I'm showing how I handle the oil plug timing chain oiler. Feel free to copy it if you so desire. I'm not done with it yet, as I had to order a Holley .040 jet which I did not have. Here's the thread...

This is a great start. Does the power steering bracket bolt to engine casting? The bolts leading to the timing chain cover? I see the front two piece bracket for the power steering utilizes the timing chain cover bolts through water pump? The AC compressor bracket bolts using the top timing...

...attached. That was the cylinder that had terrible compression. They seem to be in good shape and straight when I put a straight edge next to them. What are thoughts on this? It is looking more like a timing chain skip from my perspective. I am going to tear into the front of the engine next.

That chain is too slacked for my liking without a tensioner to keep it from jogging at idle. I'd replace it. One thing to note is.. it's not some slack thats the issue.. it's how much the cam is retarding from the chain stretch itself. You could technically degree it in to compensate for the...

what inter changes between a LA and magnum small block. stuff like timing chain, timing chain cover, oil pump and oil pan. distributor ? will 340 exhaust manifolds fit a magnum head? i know the intake is different. are the LA accessories able to work on the magnum?
