Unplanned Chevy timing chain replacement on our 1970 C10 Project 

great video and tips on putting back the timing cover: but one thing I saw that needs more explanation is when you put the new timing chain back on, I saw that your TDC dots both facing each other which is cam at 6 o'clock and crank at 12 o'clock which is set at the exhaust stroke ....but when you set your distributor back in , its off 180 degrees.... So when your off the next step is to take of the distributor and go back and set your (TDC to Intake Power stroke) cam at 12 o'clock and same with crank at 12 o'clock and now your distributor will set in at piston one... most video don't explain if what happens when your off 180 degrees on your distributor...

Oil pan still attached, that’s great news , I’ll be taking out the cam on my 4.3 inboard, this is motivating not having to pull the block.

Bummer on the bolt, but damn chat chain looked worn out! Nice job great video!

amazing video. you fkn rock,!! you a a hero for me today. I can do this! thanks for spending the time to do his

I've had the Chevrolet chrome timing covers and a few sets of chrome valve covers including two sets of Edelbrock chrome script valve covers they don't seal for shit!!! Only way I managed to get the new set of Edelbrock chrome script valve covers I had to seal was victor reinz cork valve cover gaskets sealed to the heads, and the valve covers.

I made a tool to press the crank sprocket on. Threaded rod to match the bolt and on the further end two nuts. No more tapping

Excellent! Very clear...

Thanks for sharing

Nice job, fine looking truck also.

Great job man!

Thanks.. im inspired

Thanks!!

Harbor freight sells a 10 piece extractor set for that bolt head you snapped off. If you're really careful, you might be able to drill and spin it out without taking the cover off the engine.

Exellent job

Nice show and would like to see more but on Obs because is what I have but great show.

better drill that bolt out if your luck is anything like mine it's gonna leak. how about that black rtv it's really sticks to your fingers, good luck

That old chain was about ready to jump a sprocket.

Thanks I’m going to do minds now 350

Where did you get that socket to help turn the motor and what is it called exactly

Excellent job. Thanks for sharing. Let me ask you, did the truck started right before you did this replacement? I am wondering if that chain play messed up the timing somehow?

Sweet syclone/typhoon

Great job for guys needing info, just curious i never seen u re install the front seal?? Maybe u done it off camera??!! Hope so, u will onow soon enough

my 454 has been making a whining noise on startup, starts quick but won’t stay running, performance has been poor and jerks from first to second shift hard. u guys think this is it?

Not a good idea to use an impact for those timing bolts. Otherwise good video.

Better replace that timing chain assembly while you're at it. I see slack on it.

How do you put the harmonic balancer back on?

Where can I find that socket with key way? Thanks!

Have you ever tried a SpeedMaster bouble roller timing chain? Please only real world experience.

Hi, did you loosen the front oil pan bolts? Thanks in advance.

What pitch is the chain?

what about that black link what is that for?

Is the timing chain a part of the engine or is it separate? For instance....If i buy a new motor is there a timing chain on it?

13:35 the gear moved a bit, is that going to cause issues? It's just a question, I'm trying to learn something
