DO NOT REPLACE THE TIMING CHAINS! It is unnecessary!



Hmm, my past dealing with about every ford has been at around 100k milage, swap out chains.
I will have to look at this further, but asside from the obvious alignment, what would suggest that the chain isn't due?
I am going off my previous experiance with V8's and V6's.




hmmm what motors have you been working on that required timing chain replacement at 100k

and what lead you to believe they needed to be replaced or did they fail???

i have built or assisted in building several motors for mustangs old and newer and have NEVER seen a timing chain that had given out in only 100k of use...are you referring to timing belts?????

100k is nothing on a 302,hell its just getting broken in,i don't see how a set of timing chains would need to be replaced at that kind of mileage,seems ridiculous to me...

new,new ride! '99 svt black/mnb '95 mustang gt sold! '98 svt #800 sold!
