Got a couple suggestions for you My first time doing this one but it might help some people before I tore the timing apart I marked the cams with a marker that way when the one on the left jumped. I left the old sprocket on there and I used a plier style oil filter wrench to turn it back on the gears to where it's supposed to be so I didn't have to go through all of that I have pictures but I'm not sure how to upload to show. it helped me out quite a bit I hope it helps somebody else and yes someone before you put the wrong bolt in on the left they are both matching bolts you can see the out line from the washer on the sprocket. Thanks again this video helped
They make a tool for doing the chains. Its simple as falling off a log and inexsensive. I got one and it has two sets of prongs fastened to a locking plate that holds the chain in place. Just put the prongs through the sprocket holes after you line up you chain and turn the handle. Eezy Peezy. No messing around with zip ties. Part # 522902. Azone, Oriellys, Rock Auto I dont remember where I got it.
@@panzerichi3837 I’m pretty sure it’s down once cam is in but I can’t find any reference in the Haynes manual. I think I found it online or in a YT video. Sorry I don’t remember for certain, although I believe it’s down.
Excellent video... I have two questions. Do I have to remove the admission body as well as the coils, injectors, and spark plugs to do this job? Or, in your case, were the cams also serviced, and that's why it is all disassembled? The other question is about the tensioner piston in the left side chain. I saw in another video that a mechanic removed the constraint plate that comes with it in order to increase the oil pressure to that piston and avoid issues with it down the road. Would you do that?
My v6 is literally at 1 o clock now after tightening my sprocket. Since all the chains were on it rotated everything just that little bit as well. How can i move it back
Hey, I think that it has came in my case with or situation that I have change my timing on this type engine 4.7 dodge ram 1500 4.7 v8 4-4 slt truck over 317.830 on the dash but my question how much would this cost from someone professionally doing this for me..is what I am looking for here??
So I screwed up and took off 2 tensioners then I used a trick to get the top sprocket loosed by putting a rachet on both and while holding the driver side still I turned the passenger side and it turned a lot what do I do anyone
@@BASgarage yes I did put back but I took the timing cover apart and check out timing two long one line up with the mark perfect but the primary chain is not line up with those dot. Is there any trick or do I have to keep turn the crankshaft until it line up?
@@blayblaw yes you will need to get it on top dead Center that should have those marks lined up and then make sure you’re two top. Timing marks are also lined up.
@@BASgarage yup that’s what I did still not running it just keep crank over and over. I wonder if those 6 pistons have to be in position before I put those head cylinders back on?
