well spent most of the day so far making a keyway, in order to use the reluctor I need a special keyway that comes in the kit that I don't have. Chris was nice enough to send me a drawing with dimensions. I have been test fitting it on a crank I have sitting around. so far no luck. my...
Yes I sent it to leroy so he could use it to make others, so I assume it was taken apart. I do have the thrust washer on the cam gear. Getting ready to go out to the shop and start working on it.
So according to Chris's pictures the long end of the idler shaft goes forward which I have. Must have been reassembled wrong if the snap ring goes outwards too. I'm assuming the cam gear goes on farther and the camshaft will come forward. If one of the idler gears is bigger it's not easily spotted.
so kinda a pian to install in the truck. Also not sure I like how the gears line up. Idler gears seem to set back farther than the crank and cam gears. Maybe they float around just seems like a lot.
Time for some preventative maintenance. 291k on the clock. Hoping to do gear drive ,I have two , so I thought I may as well put one on this engine. Timing chain doesn't have as much slop as I thought it would for that many miles. Also time for a new water pump as this one seems to be leaking...
I never used to brush the chimney in my shop. I just let the occasional induced chimney fire clean it. Then I installed a 6" diameter 1/4" wall steel pipe for the chimney. I couldn't get it to ignite.
No it will not. Rebuild it or have it rebuilt but you need to make sure if someone else is rebuilding it that you get your transmission back. We've heard WAY too many stories of tranny shops swapping transmissions and then it not working.
You have a db2 if I read your signature right. Is it stock with stock turbo? If so you'll notice a big difference. Plus you'll need to make sure you're cooling system is top notch.
