Lots of these how to's on changing a timing chain and gears on you tube but very few outlining the whole procedure.Everything seems to start with the oil panand timing case cover already off. The start of the job involves removal of the timing chain cover. On older small block Chevs that involves (at very least) the slight lowering of the oil pan to clear the ends of the lip on the timing cover. Some choose to trim the corners off of that lip so any future timing chain work can be done without slacking off several of the pan bolts so the cover wont tear the end seal while removing/installing the cover. Very few go into that step first.
you are correct at lining the dots on crank and cam but what all the guys on youtube fail to mention is that dot to dot is not a compression stroke or the position to stab the distributor....so if you stab the distributor with dots aligned then it will be 180 out, so the dots on cam sprocket and crank sprocket have to be in the 12o'clock position with both intake and exhaust valves closed for it to be correct....the ratio is 2 crank revolutions to 1 cam revolution....if you stab distributor with dot to dot position then there is a possibility of valves and piston colliding during engine crank attempts you dont want piston coming up and valves opening
Right!!! If the distributor were stabbed this way it will be 180 out every time. You are correct 12 and 12 on the timing marks and the distributor will be correct!!! Keep Rocking!!!
But you're incorrect on stabbing the distributor with the marks at 6 and 12. The only thing that will be out of time is the distributor resulting in a no start with a lot of back firing from both the engine and the guy who stabbed his distributor wrong. Nothing will happen to the valves when the gears are aligned 6 and 12. Keep Rocking!!!
very important comment. failure to listen will result in extreme frustration and possible cam damage . also this man forgot blue loctite on the cam gear bolts those things fall off and you are having more frustration and damage.
I don't understand why guys need dots to figure out their ignition and can't just figure out tdc compression on cylinder 1. It's not rocket appliances.
Cam should not be turned, the crank can be adjusted a little to make sure bottom is matched with top. But the engine should already be on top dead center by timing mark before take down this solves issues of being off 180 degrees for distributer. It is 12 o'clock on the crank versus 6 o' clock on the cam for match up.
I just read otherwise. #1 Compression stroke TDC on my engine has the Cam at 12 o'clock and Crank at 12. I'm keeping it that way for the chain replacement.
Drop the dizzy in an try an start an it will backfire thru carb in dot to dot it be 180 out. Cam dot needs to be at 12 as well as crank with #1 piston at tdc. Drop dizzy in on # 1 an it will fire. Rite up
At time 1:14 you said put the key on O and go up 3 teeth. My question is ... Where you have the yellow paint , will all gears have a mark there? ( where you have the yellow paint) I see no mark there? The reason I'm asking is a long story. While my damper and stationary mark do line up at TDC , when I start the marks will not come down to time it, engine run good but can't time it with the light. At TDC rotor does line up to #1 wire. I have read many people had this problem but I found no fix.
TDC on number1 cylinder is always when the mark on the crank timing gear is at the 12 o' clock position, and when you align the cam gear to the 6 o'clock position to the crank gear at 12 o'clock your valve timing is correct. But if you rotate the motor from that position, and your timing chain is on, you are off of TDC, until the two marks come together again. Most eng. work like that, but always check your manual on different engines!!!! Small block and Big block chevys are like the video.
I’m just trying to get this right before I attempt installing my chain and new distributor . So I make sure my engine is on TDC on compression stroke,,, Put my chain on while “Dot to Dot”. Now rotate dots to 12 and 12. Now set my New Distributor pointing at #1 Cylinder. Is this correct
How did you seat the crank gear ? heat, tamping with a socket, why should you not do some things ? Did it fly apart ? Just enough info to destroy an engine.
Would you need to align timing marks if everything stays the same as you removed ie the crank and camshaft are not moved. Everything should remail relative if you install the same as removal. just a thought. thx
Question i am installing new timing chain...when crankshaft and camshaft gear marks are lined up is that also top dead center on cylinder number one? I think it is ..just want to make sure...thanks
Hello my name is joe I wanted to do my timing because my oil pump has gone bad. The reason I’m writing you is because I never done one before. My question is once I take off my timing cover & remove my oil pump how do I set my timing before replace do I get a wrench my turn it to the right or left until kits centered or do I came off the old timing chain first then set it according to the bottom Assembly first
Hello I took off the timing chain cover and saw the 2 dots did not line up I’m new to this my question is can I rest the timing or dose the 2 dot don’t always line up
Hello ,I am overhauling a 2.2 Lt for an S10 2002 when it comes to the timing it is easy to aline the marks ,but when i purchased the timing kit sprockets and chain , it came with the small oil cup with a small hole in it same as the engine had before , but the parts seller who is a a very large company and in business for such a long time he said if you use this kit , you do not need a tensioner period . i found it hard to accept , because mine which is a standard unopened motor before came with a tensioner , can you please advise
when i rebuilt my 350 i put timming marks like this n found distributor off 180 when aligned to no.1 plug, started when aligned to no.6,....i believe timming marks should be 12 and 12
Dot to dot has always been 180deg out.. The reason You have to find compression stroke on #1 when installing distributer. People have laughed at me for yrs. (They were always 180 out) They still say I'm wrong.
@@stacyyealock6779not exactly. Depends on if 6 or 1 was tdc on compression when you removed your timing set.

When the motor is rotated 180 deg and cam on top of crank the mark on cam go down and crank up that's as far as I know I haven't heard of the opposite just fyi
Yup, just remove the most forward 2 oil pan bolts, and loosen the 2 behind that. Carefully wedge in 2 flat tops, should be enough slack then to remove your timing cover and reinstall properly!
Hi David - I have a motorhome with a bbc 454 engine. The engine has several oil leaks that I am going to repair which require removing the oil pan and replacing the timing chain (TC) cover seal. Some friends of mine have advised along with replacing the TC seal, to also replace the timing chain, the oil pump and the rear main seal. In searching for parts there are several sizes of chains it appears I need to take the old chain to the parts store and physically match it from there. Is this correct? If I am not mistaken I think I will need to to a timing adjustment with the distributor when I get everything reassembled.
You typically replace cams with the lifters, so yes, you will need to loosen rockers and remove your pushrods. Depending on your cam type, you may need to shorten/engthen pushrods. Search videos about pushrod geometry.
1975 PONTIAC CATALINA 400-THM400 if you don't at least loosen the first 3 on each side at the front of oil pan,you will not get the seal to stay in place when installing..pan does NOT have to be removed tho..
+David Jones i really appreciate this video cause i was wondering does this small box chevy have a timing belt or chain so now i subscribe to your channel for more leaning
Chevy is so simple my F150 v6 wich is the same looking chain has a extra sprocket on the the top sprocket witch is for the ob2 distributor gear to be move along and a chain tensioner that i dont even wanna touch cause it looks complicate and cant find a good video on how to replace this complicated chain on a 97 4.2 engine I got the timing cover taking off and need help on how to replace this chain anyone please bee kind and show me a link on where I can be guide to do this job I am in this mess cause my ac compressor clutch came off and hit my pulley fan and broke off the harmonic balancer so I had to take all this appart and now i saw that my timing chain has a broken piece and dont wanna run the truck with this bad chain
I have a 1989 Pontiac Firebird trans am that the timing chain broke, does anyone know how much it’ll cost for a shop to replace it? If it’s over $500 then I’ll have to do it myself. :/
I was told its best to spin the crankshaft 2 times around after the chain is on to make sure they line up right have you ever heard of that? Do you know how to check if the chain jumped a tooth on a bbc 454 without taking it all apart? it starts but does not run good after I let some @$$hole use it any info would be great thx
+mitchell b , spin it to make sure the timing isn't off and to check the tension after. Rotate the crankhaft by the bolt two complete belt or chain revolutions and see how the timing looks. You should probably replace the waterpump and crankshaft seal while you have the timing chain done.
That may help you find TDC, but if you are good you can find it just putting thumb on spark plug hole until it stops blowing air. You might have to rock the crank back an forth just a tiny bit to make sure.
You have a 3 slot crank gear, can be confusing. The o is for normal timing as a stock dot would be, and if you can't check everything else (confusing to you if I tried to type it all out) Put the o on the keyway of the crank, the A and the R are for A-advancing the time 4deg and the R-retarding the timing 4deg. (Advancing makes the most torque and horsepower early, and retarding makes it later in power range.)
I just put a new timing chain on a 5.7 Vortec - The car won't start - Back fires a little. How do I tell if I am 180 degrees out. I set the marks at 6 O'clock for the cam and the crank at 12 O'clock - Any youtubers have an answer - Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.
To me it seem everyone one of these how to. Start with removing old set or in this case installing new set. Not a thing about setting up the engeine it self in the right compression stock on #1 cyl. I see a few coment about having to drop the oil pan.. I never had to do that. An in all cases if you did lossen off oil pan bolts to lower oil pan. The whole new oil pan gasget an crank seals would have to be replace or you have oil leak.. not something you can do with engeine in The vehicle I would have to come out.

Thanks Robert, I enjoyed the simplicity
No lock tight on the bolt so it don't back out seems like such a low torque especially for that spinning and vibrating probably loose.

shouldn't the crank dot be at 12 cam dot at 6 -then turn it til they are both at 12?

TDC on number1 cylinder is always when the mark on the crank

valve timing is correct. But if you rotate the motor from that position,
and your timing chain is on, you are off of TDC, until the two marks
come together again. Most eng. work like that, but always check your
manual on different engines!!!! Small block and Big block chevys are
like the video.
When both crank and cam dots are at 12 oclock, that is firing cyl #1 period. Chevy and mopar v-8's and many others, but not all.
