Don't forget with the double roller chain you have to crush the oil slinger down slightly or it will hit the timing cover it is annotated in the ford 289 rebuild manuals
Thanks for this! I am at this step right now and about to install a double roller.
Hey thanks for the video I learned something keep the videos coming thank you
You're very welcome
maybe show the removal of the old timing chain?
Every video skips this step :(
I will definitely do that at the next opportunity. This was one of my first videos and I'm more thoughtful now of things like that.
Do you need a oil slinger
if i took the harmonic balancer off before setting tdc, how would i go about lining everything back up? would i just reinstall the balancer?
The balancer only goes on one way because it's keyed. As far as lining up the timing chain, if you need to rotate the crank, you could just slip the balancer on just enough to turn it by hand to TDC. Then you can just pull it off by hand if that makes sense. Pull the spark plugs out so there isn't any compression to fight.
@@AlfsMustangGarage Thank you so much! Big help!
2 years later ... I had the same question and you answered it. Thank you both.
You're very welcome
i miss placed my oil slinger. Where can I find one? What is a good part #?
The first place I always look is at National Parts Depot
What is the torque for the top cog bolt?
40-45 ft.-lbs
How long till fuel pump eccentric started spinning on the cam cause the pin was to short ?
My thoughts too
He used the short pin, noticed that too.
You guys know that once you tighten the camshaft bolt, it sucks the cam into the thrust plate and thus puts the pin in the fuel pump ecentric further. This engine has been running great for over 2 years now 👍
@@AlfsMustangGarage there are 2 pin sizes and it looks like you used the short pin on accident. Either way, glad it worked out.
Does that two piece fuel pump eccentric ever wear to the point it needs replaced?
This car actually has a 1 piece and I would imagine eventually it would wear even though I've yet to see one. The arm of the fuel pump is a softer metal so that is made to wear before the eccentric.
@@AlfsMustangGarage The one piece is much better for racing applications.
Well if you're building an engine for racing or high performance, you're probably going to eliminate the mechanical fuel pump and go electric.
