That, too. By Dave Shoe - 03/28/2004 10:15:07 PM; IP 216.243.176.34 The timing chain can lose it's teeth if it's an older nylon toothed aluminum cam gear. These gears were introduced on the 427 becuase they absorb vibration, running quiet and easing loads on the cam. They need to be replaced after 5 years or 60,000 miles though. You can inspect the gear by removing the fuel pump and checking timing chain slop and using a flashlight to view the gear. Draining the oil may also reveal plastic chunks if it's come apart. Shoe.
