whales vagina? you in san diego?

 

Nope that just sounded good lol. im in utah

 

ah ok, was gonna say if youre local i can help..

 

let this be a reminder, DO NOT PUT THE GOD DAMN GEAR ON BACKWARDS!!! this could potentially happen

 

so who wants to help a brother out? i need a timing cover on the cheap or fo fwee.

it appears the part on the cover that is all gnared and gone now was crucial as it allowed oil to puddle up under the gear and keep it properly lubricated, id be kinda hesitant to put it back on like that

 

did that before...

forgot top oil pump bolt.
and like, a bunch of other missing bolts in my bucket.

 

Well that looks like it sucks. There's tons of parts around man, I see 20R/22R stuff on CL all the time for hella cheap. just do some searchin' and I bet you can score a new front cover for $25 or less.

Just a thought for you... where do you think some of that metal that came off the gear and front cover went? I'd drop the oil pan if I were you....

 

yea bro. definatley gonna drop the pan, as much as im dreading it though. its got to be done.

 

i might have some extra parts, lemme check

 

please do bro! id appreciate it. do you guys think i would be ok running the old oem crankshaft gear? i dont think its worn out or anything

 

i might have one of those as well, chain too i think..

 

bro. you have to buy a new timing chain which comes with the gear... I have a new timing cover i installed but never ran the motor with if you want it for 30 bucks shipped. I also have the oem timing chain from my motor with roughly 80 to 120k miles on it... mileage is really unknown cuz my truck was towed behind a rv for 10 years. then sat for 5 years only being driven 1 mile twice a week.

 

opinions, do you guys think its bad news bears for my timing cover?




also ill check the oem gear that i took off and compare it to the specs in the fsm. if thats the case and i can reuse my cover alls i need is a chain

 

i have all this, its in great shape just needs to be cleaned up..i'd say there is roughly 40k on these parts

 

is that stock oem stuff? reason i ask is because the timing set i bought was a duralast one from vatozone and they guides look real cheap. if its oem i might want those guides and cover if i cant use mine any longer.

 

no its Rock..i bought a top end kit from engbldr..my new engine came with a plastic guide, and my kit i got from engbldr is metal, so i'm using the metal one on my new engine. That r/s guide is new but its plastic..

 

ooo rock knock eh? ive heard bad things about rock.

 

havnt had any problems with any of the timing parts, i am skeptical of the HGs tho. I originally did my headgasket around 120k with this Rock kit from engbldr. It just blew over the summer pushing 160k, i think it was my fault tho, i ran it hot..so i said fck it and bought a new engine..which come to find out has a rock HG..fingers crossed it lasts..

 

if you just want the chain and guides and sprockets i'll give em to ya..just send some money for shipping

 

so how much do you want for all that stuff?
