Timing Chain Project
« on: June 26 2014, 10:58:58 AM »
Anyone have a "preferred" parts list for timing chain replacement?
TA's or NOS chains have the nod, more concerned about collecting the other bits, gaskets, rear seal etc...

Just get a one way ticket for Earl to fly down and fix you up.

Fel-Pro TCS45930 will have everything you need except a bottle of The Right Stuff for the pan, and a new Melling pickup if you're still running a stocker with a 'trap door'.

Stock junk from a local parts house runs low 11's all day...and into the 10's when I'm feeling stupid. Earls oil mods are always a good idea.
Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don't last, but BAD GUYS do!
