Thats a tricky one. I probably would need more info. But seems to me that the crankshaft is off. Might want to research a little more. Thanks for the comment and for watching
You should because the timing cover attaches there in the front. Sometimes you can get away with dropping the front of the pan. I never had any luck doing this because it would disturb the gasket to much. Hope this helps Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Hey now! I got one of those in my dent side 79 and after sitting for 22 years yep the old water in pan of course, we drained it, filled radiator to warm it and now water in oil pan, never got hot, up to operating temp, my question is could water from sitting years, could corrosion eat at the front plate causing water pump suction into oil pan since engine has vacumn creation, dont beleive in head gasket Crack, oil is gray I never seen gray oil so oil is not hitting combustion, and intake is dry set up, weird deal?
Sorry for the delay. Yes antifreeze, if it gets behind the timing cover it will go directly into the oil. I have seen the timing covers corrode, but never enough to rust through. Probably from sitting not running for a long time. Thanks for the comment
Thanks for the video I learned something appreciate it keep them coming
Thank You for the comment it means a lot.
I have a 1978 f250 351m/400. when the number 1 piston is actually tdc on the compression stroke the key way on the crank is at about 11oclock.

5:04 NOTE: The Red print on the right side of the white sticker, it says Made in the USA/INDIA
Thanks
351 Cleveland is also the same. Nice that you are using American made parts
I've been trying to use American made parts as much as possible but it gets harder and harder every day. Thanks for the comment.
Did you have to drop the oil pan? I have to change a timing chain on my 79 Thunderbird with a 351M. Thank you.

@@GMechinic I'm taking the oil pan down and cleaning it as well. Thanks.
What do you use as a timing mark on the aftermarket cam gear? Do you get it set to tdc with the old one then stamp your own on the replacement?
All the timing marks should be marked for you to use and line them up with
the key on top dead center. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Bought my first 351M 78 F150 today, just crash learning about this engine, is the engine Interference or NON interference?
Non interference. Thanks for Watching and for the comment.

Where did you get the gear from?
Rock Auto
You didn't install anything in this video.
But I did give you very good information on this subject and what timing chain set to use in your engine.
Did you make a clip of actually installing it?
@@GMechinic
too many commercials at beginning and end othe wise ok
At this time I have no control over that. Thanks for watching and the comment
