So I was under the understanding that you shouldn't run both for what ever reason? I like the idea of this but have been told by others on the forum that it's not a good combo. I have a new one I could use....

This thread, post 22 shows the bolt hole that can damage the cylinder wall if a bolt is too long, and a measurement. Uh oh, power steering bolt broke into number one cylinder?

Finally, the timing chain and gears arrived now that I have my Duster on my lift. Oh well next week's project.

That's as quite interesting timing cover, where did it come from? I didn't see a small block one one AR's website.

Just a driver? Drop the pan, check the bearings, timing chain and maybe a rear seal. Learned that one the hard way with an Olds 307Y that I put into an Electra I had from great aunt. Most other stuff can be done while the engine is in the car.

...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...

...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...

I wanted a belt or gear drive too but that wasn't in my budget. Wish my timing chain set would get here so I can start working on this motor again.

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.

...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 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.

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.

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...

Timing chain is pretty new, very little run time

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.

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

...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...

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

...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...
