| Did you change the timing chain as well? I usually mention this, but one mistake a lot of people make is that if you change the timing chain, you should not reuse the little "C" shaped spacer that went between the cam and cam timing gear. This spacer is cast into new timing gears, so you should throw away the original one. The previous owner of my 390 made this mistake and I was stuck fixing it. What will happen is that the cam timing gear will hit the inside of the timing cover, and slowly chip away at the metal. Also, the camshaft will be pushed back, and lifters will start chewing up the lobes in front of them. Get a stethoscope and put it to the timing cover, and rule out this as a possibility to your problem. |
