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 video's are spot on Dave, thanks

Great video, to the point and very helpful way to get my head around this repair.

Very clear, accurate and precise explanation. One of the best movies on the subject I've seen. Thank you!

Great video, I am about to do this on my SBC 305. Really helps me to see it as well as read it. Keep up the great work!

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!!!

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.

what side is the line up pen suspose to be on wehn putting on timei g chain

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.

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

Whats up with that black link switcharoo in the chain?

should there be play on a new chain ? or zero play ?

Wount that be 6 o clock on the top gear?

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.

How did you know the position of the camshaft?

That depends on where the engine was in the cycle when you removed the timing gears. Just line up your timing marks, find TDC on compression on cylinder 1, and reinstall distributor.

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.

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.)

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.
