Check the new timing chains. Bling bling. Chains, phasers, lash adjusters are all new, from American Muscle. Big difference. Thanks for the tips, Tim Jimmy.

Jason.

Yep, how much of a pain, and how long did it take? Glad it's better now!

It isn't bad. It requires removing the a/c pump, power steering pump, idlers, crank pulley, radiator fan, and front engine cover. If you're pretty good it can be done in a day. Just make sure you have all the replacement torque-to-yield bolts.

Yes: all correct. You can leave the AC alone though. You'll need TTY bolts for the cam sprockets and balancer. The kit'll probably have the cam bolts. The hard part was popping the roller rockers out and in. This is my first big work on the car so it took me all weekend. Huge difference.
