ddarkslayer · June 5th, 2009, 11:20 PM

will it add extra horse power and will they fit my 5.0 with stock cams

No it won't add any horsepower. Yes it will fit your 5 liter as long as you get the correct part number for your 5 liter. Timing chains don't add horsepower, they only provide accurate cam timing and reliable service.

+1 I agree with Slo5.0. They will not give any extra or make extra horse power for you. You can get just as a reliable timing set up for less money.

i need to change mine too. what do u guys think about the ford racing set? my stang has 150k, i think its time.

BlessedHellride · June 6th, 2009, 01:40 PM

Probably wouldn't hurt to change it, but with that mileage, why not freshen things up a bit?

+1 a rebuild should be in order

You wont always need a rebuild with high mileage. If oil changes,and all maintinance was done on time... and it has good compression results, then why tear it down?

I sold my 88 GT with over 180,000 miles on it and it still ran great, 13.40s to be exact

In my defense. He was asking about upgrading timing set. I was more less referring to upgrading the rest of his engine is all. I have had several vehicles knocking on 200k miles that still ran great.

i had an 89 maxima with 327,000 miles on the original motor and tranny. I sold it to a 16 year old for 600 bucks that lives in my neighborhood and he's still driving it. It didn't burn or leak any oil.

BlessedHellride · June 6th, 2009, 04:57 PM

They key word in your post was Maxima. Not to be compared to the almighty 302. I am the first to attest to the fact that proper care and maintenance goes a long way on ones automobile.

superbean · June 6th, 2009, 06:03 PM

but yes old timing chains are sloppy.. it can never hurt to put a fresh one on.

1fst5.0 · June 6th, 2009, 06:08 PM
