RE: 390 - Timing Chain Check Question
By Ralph Wasielewski - 10/16/2001 8:49:43 AM; IP 12.13.248.12
Thanks for the info. I rotated the engine until it pointed exactly to 0 TDC. Then set a pointer to the rotor bug. Turned the engine in the other direction until the rotor bug barely moved from the pointer - read the timing marks and got 7 degrees. Looks like it was timing chain problems then everything else was a bandaid.

Since I just got this, I'd like to run it for a while to try and determine what other problems there may be.

Does the 390 FE engine have a destructive condition of valves hitting the pistons when the timing gets too far out?
This thread, so far...
