1968 F100: 360 FE gets a much needed Cloyes timing set!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- If you saw the preview to this, you will know that the replacement of the timing chain on the F-100 was much needed! Same process applies to 352, 360 and 390 FE engines.
Hopefully the new Fel-Pro gaskets and seals will also minimize the bulk of our oil leaks.
Parts and tools used:
Fel-Pro gasket set TCS 45167
Cloyes Timing set C-3029
OTC harmonic balancer puller/installer 4531

***Note that in this video the front cover seal is backwards! Make sure you install yours in the correct direction!*** 👍🏻
I noticed
Changed the timing chain on my 1973 f250. I’ve the manuals, Haynes repair manual, but I could not have done it without this video. Thank you so much.
@@lefthip100 glad it helped you! You are very welcome… thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻
Oh my fkn God. Thanks for this video. I could not find out y my cam aliment was off. Dam c spacer. I watched videos all day and compcams. Can't even get thru to there help line. Thank you so much for this video
Glad it helped you out!!! Thanks for watching 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Love the old 360 FE. Had one in a '73 F-100 Ranger XLT w/ a T-19 tranny, posi-trac w/ 3.70 gears. 600 Holley on stock 390 intake, headers & dual glasspacks. Made a great mud truck for hunting trips.
That one sounds like a lot of fun!!! 😎
Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻
im rebuilding one for my 65 galaxie 360 bored 30 over
Good video, I like you explaining any problems you had. Thank You!
Glad you found it helpful Mark!
Thanks for watching!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great job. Very informative video. I have a 1976 F250 Highboy that I’m going to replace the timing chain and gears . I’ll use this video as my go to. Thank You.🐊
Glad you found it helpful! Just make sure that you put the front cover seal in the proper direction-and not backwards like I did!
Good luck with your project and thanks for watching! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank u, it was a very helpful
Glad it helped you! Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻
I slip the timing cover on with the spacer/sleeve inside it already and then bolt it down. That way it's perfectly centered on the seal for a no leak fit.
That cam gear you took off is the OEM gear. They were aluminum with a nylon coating around the teeth. I suspect all the nylon got brittle & broke off. That probably why your chain was so loose.
That is exactly what I was thinking. I suspect there would be some remnants of the nylon teeth in the oil pan.
Great tips. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Great Video! I have a 1965 Forf Thunderbird that I am replacing the timing chain in now. Your sela didn't go in because the seal was in backwards, but you know that by now I am sure JMACit
Yes; I realized my mistake afterwards!
Have fun with your project and thanks for watching! 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice video! Overall, seems pretty simple to do a camshaft. I’m 18 and I’m soon going to be buying my first vehicle/truck that’s just like this one!
Also, I subscribed 👍🏻
That’s exciting!!! Your first project is always a lot of fun and a great learning experience. These old trucks have some quirks and some strange designs, but they are pretty easy to work on overall.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub… much appreciated! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@whiskeycreekcustoms6296 no problem!
I’m super stoked! I’ll have videos of it once I get it! Just gotta get to Alberta first!
@@PickinwithPickle we look forward to seeing it!!! 😎
Why does that chain and area look so dry?
@@ScottSellsSoCal it hadn’t run in close to a week prior to disassembly.
Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
good video. would you agree that mostly all new timing sets single or double row now have that spacer added onto the backside of the sprocket eliminating the need for the "C" washer/spacer? changing mine out (Ford FE) for a new Melling timing set this week. Thanks for posting.
All the ones I’ve looked at had the spacer built in. The Melling set should as well.
Good luck with your project Tony! Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
The fuel pin looks pretty average to me...
It did look average until I really cleaned out the hole and it sunk in the full 0.280
Without the spacer, there was a chance it would have slipped at some point. Better to be safe than sorry!
Thanks for watching Hunter! 👍🏻
i think that seals in backwards
You know what… you are 100% correct.
I still wasn’t feeling great the day that I installed that seal, and apparently I had a complete brain fart. It’s not leaking at all, but I will indeed have to fix that. (I do have a spare gasket set anyways) I shoulda clued in when the crank sleeve was fighting me 🤦🏼♂️
Thanks for pointing that out, and thanks for watching 👍🏻
100%
You better drop your pan all that plastic is down in the bottom of it
