Subject: Timing Chest Off
| Broke the nut loose on the crank, got the timing chest off, nada to be found as far as I can tell. All teeth on the gears look fine. There is some minor movement on the oil pump gear, but nothing that would cause the clatter I am hearing. Ordered up a new cover gasket and crank seal for the cover and will re-assemble. Checked the valves and they appear OK, clearance is right on the money. Did notice the left plug was blackish and slightly wet while the right one was perfect, could just be a carb adjustment on the left side. Have no clue what to do from here except hand this off to a professional. I wish somebody lived nearby who could stop by, take a listen, and tell what the clack is wrong with her. Perhaps it is the rod bearings, who knows. I give up. Keith Ruff 71 Police Ambassador - NJ |
