Guest Hal Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Disassembly is 99% complete. Here are the pictures that go along with that. Loose chain for some reason. Does anybody know if this is normal, or what?

V8 Beast Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 How long until its all done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 How long until its all done? I'll have the suspension together this week most likely. As soon as I get the rest of the parts (hopefully a week?) I'll throw all that together. I hope to have it running like shit here in the next 2 weeks. I'm guessing another month or 2 after that and it should be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimmel1647545512 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Ah I see it looks like you are swapping in that new 4.0 out of the 2008 V6 since gas is too high nice I like your style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mensan Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hal, in all the pictures I have here on the computer, and the pictures in my 4.6 book, none of the timing chains look loose like they do in your car. I think you may have jumped time (especially after looking at the marks on you chain/gear). I would take the timing sprocket off of the crank and rotate the engine until the number one piston is TDC. There are 2 copper links on each timing chain (even the smaller secondary chains). They should all line up to timing marks on the gears. Also, the camshaft keyways should all be facing straight down. If the cam keyways face down on the drivers side, but the passenger side looks offset, you found your problem. If you want me to come over and help, let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I was hoping it wasn't going to be out of time. I probably won't get into that for a week or two. I'll text you and let you know, thanks a lot.
