Now in the process of putting everything back together after replacing the timing chain on my 440. I've got about 25-30 bolts to reattach. If a person (such as myself) is too lazy to look up or determine torque specifications for individual bolts (cam gear, crank bolt , timing cover bolts) then...

4; "ooze out and inside your engine" - even if I wait 24 hours for it to dry? Paul

My understanding is that oil leaks usually occur at the bottom corners of the timing chain cover when you replace it. The kit I got from Fel Pro has a piece of gasket specifically for the bottom of the timing cover (or top of oil pan). So I plan to clean those two corners up really good and then...

OK BIg thanks for the pictures. I'll give it a try. Paul

Command; "facing correctly"- that means convex surface facing towards motor, right? I haven't decided yet whether to use the slinger I bought cause I'm worried about having a clanging sound if it doesn't fit right; have to think about it. Paul

I have 1975 New Yorker with 440 engine. I took the timing chain cover off and found no oil slinger. I changed the timing chain and plan on putting in an oil slinger . My question; did Chrysler stop putting oil slingers in when they started using a cast crank or does anyone have evidence of oil...

1970; showed the balancer to my mechanic (also a drag racer) and he said it wasn't that bad and that I could reuse it. He said to mark the inner and outer metal rings to see if the marks moved out of alignment with time. I'll probably get some comments like "why don't you just replace or rebuild...

31; I showed the balancer to my mechanic (another drag racer) and he said it didn't look that bad and that I could re-use it. He said to put marks on the outer and inner metal rings to see if the marks shift out of the aligned position with time. I know I'm going to get some responses like "...

57; I tried Murray Park. He didn't have a NOS balancer and his used ones didn't look all that good. Any ideas of where I can find a new balancer? This isn't as easy as I thought. Paul

So Big; you would not make an offer on this balancer? If you would what would you offer? Paul

Big ; there's a used 1975 balancer for sale on EBay ($49). but the front face has 3 holes drilled in it and mine has only 2 holes. Will this difference effect the balance and cause vibration? Paul

I'm posting a couple of pictures of my harmonic balancer. They show a 1) cracks in the rubber ring 2) a rubber ring that is raised up (not flush) with the main body and 3) a hub that has an indented ring around it. My question; is this harmonic balancer terminal or is there still some life left...

CB; how loud is a Cloyes double roller chain??? I know I put an electric fuel pump in once and I didn't like the clicking sound. Paul

Big ; do you think I should add an oil slinger? Paul

don't understand "BTAIM". Do you think I should add an oil slinger? Paul
