What all did you do to it?

Katen · May 18th, 2008, 09:19 PM

yeah changed the intake an carb out an some other things. but here is the fun, the timing chain is all kinds of messed up. cause i had it in time an now it is out of time again so a rebuild for the engine is in order

Katen · May 19th, 2008, 12:33 AM

yeah not to happy bout getting it running then finding out the timing chain is worn. but hey that means i got another topic with pics to come

460brevill · May 19th, 2008, 09:46 AM

if you changed the intake you may have the dist a tooth off.just set harmonic balancer on top dead center an check where rotor is pointing.

Katen · May 19th, 2008, 12:16 PM

did that on saturday bub. took the distributor out, primed the oil, then i did set it to tdc an put the distributor back in. started right up on saturday an was idleing fine. now i try it on sunday an the damn thing was missing, but the timing light on it was way off. so how can that be the distributor? plus i need to rebuild the engine

69fastback · May 19th, 2008, 05:10 PM

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but did you much sure the distributor was tight? It sounds like it might have spun a little on you. If the timing chain was jumping gears, you would be sure of it.

Katen · May 20th, 2008, 12:19 PM

yeah the distributor is tight.

Katen · May 21st, 2008, 12:20 AM

got proof that it is the timing chain. it was off by 15 degrees an now sounds like the valves are hitting or something metal i should say.

460brevill · May 21st, 2008, 07:39 AM

have at it.sounds like fun.

you got that right.!!!!!!!!!!

Katen · May 24th, 2008, 03:35 PM

take that back lads. apparently alcohol an working on cars is bad thing. for got to take a rag out of the intake an well needless to say it is wedged in between the valves. so i dont know exactly yet how extensive the damage. but will post picks of my blunder

69fastback · May 26th, 2008, 08:08 AM

Dude.....that sucks

Katen · May 26th, 2008, 10:58 AM

eh not really after i took the heads off an took out some of the valves from the head to clean the debris of the rag, i saw the head needed refreshed so it is all good.
