    Need Help With The Timing Chain

    I finally got it in! I lined it up as seen in my first pic and lightly tapped it with a soft hammer a few times and it went in. Before I tighten the bolt...How do the timing marks look? Am I off a tooth?

    Need Help With The Timing Chain

    I also compared the old chain to the c163 chain and both are the same size. I'm thinking since the chain is new and tight that maybe it needs to be tapped with a soft hammer? What do you guys think of that?

    Need Help With The Timing Chain

    Today, I tried wiggling the crank gear back and forth while pushing on the cam gear and still does not go through. Then I put the crank gear on first then the chain along with the cam gear and still it won't go in. I'm pushing and wiggling and nothing. I'm going to buy a few other timing chains...

    Need Help With The Timing Chain

    Yes, it seems like the chain is not long enough, if it had a few more links on it it would fit nice. And yes also the cam sprocket won't slide all the way back and I did put some light oil on it. This C163 chain is the for the 5.0 Mustang but I don't understand why it does not fit? Guess, I will...

    Need Help With The Timing Chain

    Here are some pics. As you can see in the pic, the cam sprocket won't go in any further. The cam pin is lined up properly and I put some light force on it and it won't in any further. The old chain goes in nice and easy, but of coarse it is a little stretched out. If I remove the crank gear, the...

    Need Help With The Timing Chain

    I have a crane cam and I need to know which timing chain is the correct one? I bought the Cloyes 9145 and that did not fit, the teeth pitch is 1/4 and not 3/8. So I bought the Cloyes C163 and the chain fits the sprockets. I tried installing the chain together with the cam and crank sprocket and...

    Camshaft Movement

    A few months ago I bought a Cloyes timing chain (part number 9145) and today I tried putting it on and it does not fit. The teeth won't go into the chain nice and even. What timing chain should I buy that will fit?

    I installed the cam and thrust plate. The cam moves in and out a little bit. Should there be no movement at all?

    Is My Main Bearings Within Specs?

    The pistons are stock. Yes, the top ring is harder than the second ring. Both compression rings have dots on them, and should both dots of rings be facing up when they are installed?

    Is This Engine Bearing Bad?

    I found the number 5 cap bearing with a haze on it and it won't come off. I'm not sure how that happened? The bearing has never been used and I kept it in a plastic bag and it was coated with oil. I'm about to put the crank caps on and the number 5 bearing has this haze on it, all the other...
