All looks pretty good to me. Dry fit the cover before you final install it. Just to make sure their casting was legit. Good luck with it all. You'll be happy at how much more solid a new chain feels. Noise could go down a bit too.

 

more pics of how things fit..

 

more assembly pron..





I paid attention to the other posts about the top screw not being too long for the oil pump..



I assembled each part with a thin layer of ultra gray / gasket / ultra gray..

not taking any chances on having to tear this down again

 

more progress..


let the scraping begin..

let the gasket hit the floor let the gasket hit the floor..

 

nice! reminds me of the motor i worked on couple days ago.

 

thats literally the same kit I use here at the shop. Im in the middle of installing one right now. Everything is gonna fit...i would put money on it.

just be carefull of not folding the head gasget up when you re-install the timing cover. You have to make sure the front lip of the gasget by the 12mm bolt thats straight down by the cam bolt doesnt slide backwards twords the timing chain. Some people dont look down, and the bolt fits in cause the gasget is outta the way. Ill take a pic since I still got the cover off and post it tonight when I get home.

 

truck is up and screaming,,

man I forgot how fun this truck was...

 

how long did it take you to replace the timing chain?

 

with help 4 hours..

 

good time. Did you drop the pan or just scrape the section showing? Im assumeing the guide wasnt broken right

 

nope dropped the pan and more. cleaned everything like new

guide was destroyed...

 

good job.

 

well after many hours of test fitting, installation, more testing and hard driving,

I can honestly say I support this product and will purchase more in the future..



tomorrow out comes the steam cleaner / power washer..

 

little bath

 

i knew it was nice under that dirt, all it needs is a slam.

 

slammed as far as I can take it, state is strict here

 

a little buffing..
