[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 432398, member: 18789"] Yeah the guy on the jeepsolid video comments is throwing you off. All that would need to be done if you were rebuilding an engine, inserted the cam and needed to hook it up to the crank properly. And honestly the commenter wasn’t wrong, because jeepsolid didn’t really do it right. You shouldn’t pull the gears and chain off and then rotate the two individually. But he was working with a spare engine so really it wasn’t an ideal example to begin with. Bullshitkorner’s video was fine and accurate, I actually used his video as education on how to do my old V6 ranger a few years ago, and then copied that knowledge to my Jeep 4.0. Literally just get the dots lined up, yank the gears and put the new stuff back on oriented the same way. It’s not bad at all. You say you/your buddy haven’t done a timing chain like this…I’m curious, what have you guys done? If you’re used to SOHC or DOHC engines instead, then this will be a treat because this is way less stressful than anything with cams overhead if that’s what you’re used to. Those hey way more complex since they are interference design engines with 2-4 cams to keep in time and crazy long chains where it’s easy to end up off a tooth and destroy the whole engine. [/QUOTE]
