so should i use the numner 2 or 3 hole? i am guessing 2

the more i think about the more it seems as though the cahin is simply stretched causing it to be off

on a side note the chain is a factory chain with less than 3k miles on it and so is the sprocket the only thing not oem is the cam. also i re measured the head and it is 4.248-4.247" so it cant be out of spec, one thing i did notice is when i disassembled the engine is that the bright links on the chain were on the backside not on the front like they should be, im assuming that when my grandfather assembled it years ago that he used the theory that i described above

well mike here is what moving it to number 3 did now let me say this while its fresh on my mind. if i disregard the bright links on the timing chain and use only the v notch in the cam sprocket (which has to be correct because of the dowel on the end of the cam) in theory if the engine is at tdc compression stroke and if the v notch in the cam sprocket is lined up with the notch in the camshaft bracket then the engine should be timed assuming that the chain is is tight and there is less that one link slack in the tight side ,(depending on wether or not i used number 1 2 or 3 on the cam sprocket). does that sound correct? ive typed this message 3 f ing times because i keep being interrupted :angry: :angry: :angry:

do you guys think the reason it could be like that is because too much metal was removed from the bottom of the head when it was belt milled??

bump, the day is wasting away

ok so im sure this is as simple as moving the chain up a tooth, and it makes sens in my head but i just want to double check thins timing chain setup. here is the problem, i have lined up the dots with the bright chain links on both sprockets, engine is at tdc ompression, now why in the hell is the groove in the cam sprocket showing that it is advanced, its probably just off by one tooth, but in the hainz video it shows the chain on the sprocket as one tooth different than mine, the timing mark isnt in the center of the bright link its off to one side or the other correct? if you look at the pictures it seems as though the cam sprocket needs to be moved one tooth counter-clock wise thus aligning the marks, but then that would put the bright link on the chain just to the right of the number 2 timing dot, and the crank sprocket still on the dot, this is what is confusing me, i guessz i need to disregard the links and strictly go by the marks. check my work here guys as i would rather be 100% sure before i go and fuck something up

searched will no results, i need part numbers for shifter bushings and for the breather vent on a 78-79 620 5 speed. thanks

if it feels like its stuck i would almost rather pay a tranny shop 20 bucks to take it out, saves you some headache.

lmao i bought a turnbuckle EXACTLY like that one at the ondustriale supply the other fay for 1.49, mind you its not 100% as clean as that one but same shape and size sure enough.

ha h a you guys are talkign about torching fuel tanks, well my grandpa used to weld tanker trucks back in the day, one thing he made sure they did was fill the tank before he welded on it, no fumes no boom, other than that the fuel inside actually cooled down the weld.
