Ford 302 Timing Chain Replacement

Today I’m going to be removing my timing chain cover and replacing my old worn down timing chain.
This is the timing chain I bought: amzn.to/2wMFOrT
Also, this is the Impact Driver I used and it was amazing: amzn.to/2KYy3Z7
Removing the timing chain is pretty simple. But, it’s recommended to loosen your rockers and move them out of the way before you install a new timing chain.
First thing to do is remove the fan from the water pump, Then remove the belts from the alternator and power steering pump. Then the harmonic balancer. If you are having trouble removing the harmonic balancer I put together a video for that, so take a look at that one.
After you have the harmonic balancer out you’ll need to remove the damper spacer. Then remove the bolts holding the timing chain cover to the engine block.
Remove the timing cover and water pump as an assembly so you can hold the water pump when pulling off the cover. Then clean up the gasket on the timing cover and you’re done!
You can see there was a lot of slop on my stock timing chain, so I’m excited to get the new chain on there and see how it does.
Make sure when reinstalling the chain, you line up the dot on the Big timing sprocket with the dot on the smaller sprocket.
This process is the same on the early Ford Mustangs, Broncos, and F100 trucks. Really anything with a small block Ford 302.

Good looking out about multiple length bolts. I used the gaskets to trace the bolt pattern onto cardboard then put the bolts into the cardboard as they came out. My memory is shot so these are the things I need to do😮‍💨 Great video, gonna help me with my 73 Mustang, pretty much the same setup.

I just got done doing this procedure, tearing down is the hardest part, saved all my brown shopping bags, to bag up parts that are coming off with the nuts an bolts, itemize and number in order they came out or off not one bolt was left over, take your time if something aren't going right you're doing something wrong, stop and take a break, think about it why is this part giving me a hard time, believe me you'll figure it out

@rustybritches6747 3 года назад

I like how you pulled the front timing cover without totally removing the water pump I've always wondered if you could do that!

@TekMan05 5 лет назад

Nice work! I re did my water pump/ chain on my 2000 Explorer last winter. Amazing how little changed with these engines over the years.

@NashvilleEarlyBronco 5 лет назад

Seriously. Makes it easy to work on

@markwoten6679 Год назад

I’d take the time and replace the other two gaskets on the water pump and the front crankshaft seal. That will keep you from having to remove it later. Plus the lower radiator hose looked soft. FYI: The other mark you can look at on the lower gear is the crankshaft key way. It will always be aligned to the mark on the gear.

Good info

"Maze of bolts" lol I know exactly what you mean😂

@NashvilleEarlyBronco 5 лет назад

😂 right!?

@clintchaffey8629 4 года назад

Hi great video but how did you seal the bottom of the timing case to the sump?

@chancearmstrong8173 3 года назад

Do you know if the upper bolt holes on the alternator bracket are for a factory air conditioning pump or if it’s another location to mount the alternator? My 1976 has the same bracket and I’ve always wondered what those empty holes for for!

Nice!!

@carerswantcompetencefb8879 4 года назад

Hi. I just bought a double roller for mine but the two piece fuel pump eccentric is now too tight and the outer ring isn't free. Am I ok to fit a spacer behind it?

@austindemoss6780 4 года назад

Do you remember if yours had an crankshaft oil slinger between the lower sprocket and the timing cover? Mine's also a '75 302.

@1575murray 3 года назад

That worn timing chain was an early version of variable valve timing.

@NashvilleEarlyBronco 3 года назад

Haha!

@davidspencer5465 4 года назад

I wonder why my 84 302 has only one 7/16 on each side and only one 1/2 on each side and urs is diff?

@jimphillips8774 5 лет назад

What brand timing set did you use ?

@byronaguilar4410 2 года назад

Thank you for this video. Helps a lot. One quick question: what happen when the chain is so loose and the two points are not aligned? What pole should I adjust? What would be the procedure? Thank you!

@NashvilleEarlyBronco 2 года назад

If it’s too loose you’ll have timing issues

Hi mate! Which Fitech injection fuel system fit to Ford 351 V8 engine?

@rogeliopalomino5061 Год назад

Did you used any Rtv on gasket?

@princeraheemsta.o.mobley7524 2 года назад

Can you help me with a 1995 bronco. Not firing???

@luisontiveros5692 4 года назад

I’m working on a 1994 mustang gt 5.0 302 engine as well and the dots on the timing chain are off so do I just keep rotating it until the dots meet up at 0 degrees top dead center ?

@gonzalezluis1212 3 года назад

I got to do this to my 89 f150 w a 5.0. I just replaced the water pump last week and put everything back together now have to take everything of again 😭

@jdub1922 4 года назад

Woulda been nice to see the timing chain actually come off! Are there additional bolts or just the one? Was it super easy to just slide off? Do you need a puller? etc...

@jenkinsjohn15 7 месяцев назад

Yes, this was the whole reason I watched this video.

@WillieChavezHopeLoveFaith 5 лет назад

Hello, nice video. I think it was 2003 and I didn't use the internet or RU-vid for help. My question is, I did a timing chain kit replacement on a 1986 Ford Bronco. I didn't know anything about marks that needed to be aligned. I just unbolted and took off and did the reverse to put back together. My Bronco started right up and ran fine for about 9 months until I traded it in for a new Ford F-150. Do you really need to align the marks? I did this with my Chevy Aveo, marks were aligned, but I destroyed my engine when it came time to start. What gives?

@michaelknight2897 3 года назад

Did you line up the dots by rotating harmonic balancer to TDC?

@NashvilleEarlyBronco 3 года назад

Yes

@Legendracer01 3 года назад

What is the black canister connected to the silver machined long nut coming off the timing chain area?

@NashvilleEarlyBronco 3 года назад

I think you’re talking about the oil filter

@Legendracer01 3 года назад

@@NashvilleEarlyBronco no sir, its a long hex nut looking thing. My 302 has it too. It is attached to the timing cover on the driver's side. It's maybe 4in in length.

@dcrs51 5 лет назад

You could have taken off the fuel pump eccentric cam that thing on the timing sprocket that's like off center that's only for mechanical fuel pumps

@NashvilleEarlyBronco 5 лет назад

Good to know!

@1991tommygun 5 лет назад

Yes your right!

@kataix1476 5 лет назад

Hi Jon. I have a question (a basic one) and i hope you can help me. How do you close the tailgate ? My 1975 Bronco haven't a latch and only has it in the back window. I wonder if in the past, maybe, the tailgate closed thanks to the wheel carrier... How do you close your Bronco's back door? Did you put a latch there? Thank you

@NashvilleEarlyBronco 5 лет назад

Strange, so your tailgate doesn’t have a latch? Is it just always shut?

@kataix1476 5 лет назад

it has the original handle and I can open and close it, but it hasn't a lock where you can put a key in there and secure the door

@NashvilleEarlyBronco 5 лет назад

Mine is the same way. Only the top has the lock.

@kataix1476 5 лет назад

Ok Jon, thank you for your time.

@diggs002 5 лет назад

Hey Nash, I am doing my timing chain/water pump and following your video. I need to replace all the bolts. Do you have a source for these?

@NashvilleEarlyBronco 5 лет назад

Oh man! No sources... good luck! That’s a good project

@ess2586 5 лет назад

I have a '95 Mustang....I ordered mine from BoltDepot.com....very fast shipping if you are on the east coast...I ordered Stainless Steel - 5/16-18 in various lengths....I am 100% sure my bolt lengths are different than yours...You just need to find out what the lengths are OR order a bunch of studs, nuts and washers....
