I don't know what video I left a comment on, about the way this man speaks... BUT I feel like an absolute dirtbag for having even left a comment, at all... I watch UA-cam videos most of my days, as I have chronic, debilitating medical conditions.. but I don't ever look into the life story of the posters... I get VERY angry when ppl assume that I'm fine, bc you can't tell by looking at me, then I did that to this man.... I am soooo sorry for being a hypocrite... please know I am sincere.. furthermore, I would like to say thank you for your informational, and helpful videos on 318 motors... and a BIGGER thank you for being inspirational.. not many ppl I look up to, but YOU are now one of them... I think you are an amazing person for doing wut you do, especially with autism and brain damage... this isn't as much owning up to my talking shit about how u speak, as it is letting you know that I think you are an amazing person, and I wish I could be more like you... THANK YOU, SIR...
To be honest I couldn’t even tell he had autism and brain damage. Sounds like most people here in Kansas. Country twang.
Simple, to the point, great video brother.
Appreciate it!
Thank you! Very helpful rather diy then take it to the shop. The shop would costed a Fortune for a simple job. you made it so easy thank you again.
Glad it helped!
I'm at 195,000 miles. On my 5.2 liter 318 Magnum V8. My Heater Core went. Did a successful bypass. Then the Waterpump bearing went. The Impeller first squeeking. Then grinding against the pump housing. So I got that off. Then the Tensioner Bracket off. With Ignition Coil still attached. Cleaning & repainting each Rust Oleum Gloss Black. Along with the cooling fan. And metal O - Ringed Bypass Pipe. But, since I need the AC Compressor off the engine. And freon lines disconnected to replace the Heater Core ($55 at AutoZone with AC). I'll replace that short, middle, rubber bypass hose. And why not. Pull off the Timing Cover replace the gasket. Replace the Timing Chain + Gears. The Front Main Seal while I'm this far in - only $75 more. For a great tune up. And a cleaned up engine ready for a steam clean (removing Alternator first). Then, with the whole cooling system restored onto the Suspension. Then an engine rebuild at 250,000 miles. New Camshaft. Lifters. Valve Springs, Bearing Caps on the crank. Honing Cylinder Walls. Sanding the Valve Seat Edges at three angles. A New Mopar Aluminum Plenum Pan. Maybe new Heads if old ones are cracked. But a rebuilt engine ready for 200,000 more miles or more. Then thrown out by 2032 for an Electric Lithium Ion Powered Engine with a 300 mile plus Range. And Charge Plug Inputs by the Gas Cap.
They will always be a need for engines on fuel and sounds like you gonna have a sweet 318
@@TattsForLife Yeah. Watching a ton of rebuild videos. The cool thing about doing UA-cam Vanlife is. If your street smart enough, here in L.A. without a driveway or garage, you can find a Slumlord owned strip mall easily. Park in the rear for literally a month (not in the hood, I'm 2 miles from the beach in Torrance). Take your time removing the water pump, AC Compressor (and all the freon lines because my heater core went & did a bypass from learning from UA-cam videos, never did one) and alternator. Then the timing Cover and sprockets and chain. Replace the middle bypass hose from water pump to Plenum (nobody ever does) replace the thermostat & housing. The electrical switch next to it (nobody ever does that). Degrease the whole front of the engine under the Alternator/AC Bracket. Clean it good. Repaint the radiator fan, Metal O - Ring hose, Ignition Coil and it's bracket (new tensioner). And Thermostat housing if it's salvageable - all Rust Oleum Gloss black. Now this completely oil baked, caked (oil change filler metal tube going from over radiator to front of driver's side valve cover clamp was ajar for years spilling quarts of new oil on the engine and under the Compressor bracket for years) engine is ready to be steam cleaned top to bottom (with alternator removed). Then rebuilt after 200,000 miles by 2025'ish. Then an electric engine installed by 2032. If the body and frame isn't rusted out like a VW Bus. Also with the big doghouse on these B250's I can pull the heads off from the inside. Even take the front bumper off, store it in back, & cover the front end with a tarp. Pull the Camshaft. And do a rebuild right here in this back lot. Easily. Over weeks, and the owner of the property won't care because I'm smart enough not to have my hood open. Or tools laying around, lowering property values (near the beach) and causing Karen or her husband ken from calling the cops. Sweet deal.
Perfect video and explained in depth ! Thank you brother !!
Glad you liked it
Another great vid thanks my guy! Right to the point no bull!
I try to do my best
I'm restoring a 78 dodge 20 foot motor home with a 360. Had oil and anti-freeze appearing on the top of the timing cover. Good thing I pulled it down because the timing chain was super sloppy. I'll pick up a new set of gears tomorrow. Keep up the good work. BWW.
Thanks, and that sounds like a fun project, we have more videos like this coming soon so stay tuned
Thank you, this video was very helpful.
Your very welcome
You absolutely ROCK my guy! 😩 I was about to throw the whole van away!
Happy you found the vide helpful
I loved this guy's voices it's 3am in AZ and I'm laughing lol life is good also I did like the video 💲
😱
Good job helped me out big time! You rock !
Thanks, I hope to make more videos on jeeps soon
Thanks man I have a 5.2 in my 98 dodge its past due( 4) timing gear chain & head gaskets. Re doing the heads timing gears on my brothers 89 ford 4 x4 with 5.0. and all that good stuff. bolts ringing off in water pump, WOO HOO..Peace from N.C.
Good luck!
Great Video! Thank you Sir!
Happy you liked it, more videos coming soon
The second I remove the timing chain cover I always put a rag in the oil pan opening. That opening is like a black hole. It's amazing what can fall (be sucked) in there. Things you'd have a hard time putting in there on purpose. Not to mention debris.
Great, helpful tip
Good job
Thank you
Love your videos, simple and right to the point. Question I am about to do my 5.9 timing chain and plenum gasket (which is above I am sure you know), looking at your video, seems like I don't have to drop my oil out of the engine when doing the timing chain. Just wanted to make sure I was right about that.
yes we did not half to drain the oil, just dont get no radiator fluid in it and you be fine, be sure to subscribe for more videos like this coming soon
Good Review
Thanks, its a how to though!
that is some funny shit you putting the timing gear set on with a hammer.👀😆 i'm lmao. 🤣
you must not dirt track race to much
I'M 65 AND TAPED SEVERAL ON WITH RUBBER HAMMER, DON'T MAKE FUN UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN THERE. WERE NOT ALL AS GOOD AS YOU THINK U ARE.
Thanx luv
Thanks for watching
Excuse my ignorance. When you turn the motor over by hand which way do you go? Clockwise or counterclockwise?
you should be able to turn it anyway you want, just make sure the dots line up and number 1 piston is TDC
Still running? I need mechanic help from time to time. May I ask for help here
I gotta 86 dodge 318 and it won’t start and the distributor is good it’s got compression and spark the carbs good so would that be the timing chain
is it at tdc, with the rotor button at the right postion, if its off tdc it could of jumped time, let me know some more info
Very good. This is the way people need to make videos, get to the point with out the B/S and if you ain't got an idea on what your doing do not make a video.
Thank you for watching
Or you could use the crankshaft bolt in there help with puller.
Great tip
Should of cleaned the mating surface before the new chain went on. I also find it alot easier to put the bottom gear on first then the top gear with the chain.
Great info
you did a great job,all of the extra info is helpful,one thing is always soak that chain over nite in rear end lube,first 40 seconds of startup is hell on that chain,with heavy oil on it ,it cools and lubes till motor slings the oil on it,by design,thanks for the view of my engine
Question, do you think the Magnum timing chains where prematurely versus the Windsor or the SBC engines?
I think its due to the lack of oi or oil quailty, A ford and a small block usaly does a good job of oiling the chain, heat has alot to do with chain wear to, but I seen chains look like new 150,000 miles on cars with normal oil changes and quality full synthic oil brand, I think if proper cared for the timing chain should last the lifetime of the car
What if my 318 jumped time? Would I have any extra steps in doing this job
Yes you would half to make sure you are on the right piston stroke
@@TattsForLife I have a 1988 Dodge 318 It is before the magnum version. Correct me if I'm wrong isn't it the number 6 Piston at tdc? Thanks for the quick reply man great video 👍
not 100% sure but all engines I came across times at number 1 on compression stroke with rotor button facing number 1, some EFI set up requires dif disputer and rotor settings, but mostly the same
you can put the grease on wrong if you dont watch you doing lol good job
Great info
I'm about to replace my timing chain on my 91 dodge w150 318. How do I know if my timing is set? I'm clueless
should be dot to dot
Was there any type of self adjuster on there?
no sir, this style jeep does not use a self adjuster
I'm at 215K miles (Ram 1500 5.2L) and wondering how to tell if I need a new timing chain? What is the service interval? Thanks for posting.
Idk the service interval, most metal timing changes are good to around 200,000 this they start having alot slack, I seen some go 300,000 and never need replaced then i seen some 60,000 that jump off... its just a toss up, if no symptoms i would not worry about it, unless you done got the water pump off and wanna change it, for the addded ease of mind
@@TattsForLife Thanks
If it stops running, you need a new one. Lol at least that's how I figured mine out
@@jamesphifer171 yes that is a good way to tell :P
Pull the distributor cap, turn engine over by hand backwards until the rotor begins to move. Then very carefully turn the engine the correct way while watching the crank degrees until the rotor moves again. That would be taking up the slack in the chain. If the crank rotation is more than 7 to 10 degrees before the slack is out of the chain then it is definitely time for a new one.
Your video helped me out allot unfortunately after i put everything back together my truck started to make a knocking sound once i started it. Any idea what could be the problem?
Was it knocking before?
@@TattsForLife No the truck was running fine
@@JorgeS. then why replace the chain? Any water in the oil? A knock could be a rod, or maybe u forgot to tighten the gear bolts?
I had a leak in timing belt cover so I went ahead and changed the timing chain since I was already back there the chain had some slack truck has 211k miles no water in the oil
@@JorgeS. not in time would cause a knock, is it a thump or a thud
So how long does it take to do the whole job?
depends on your skill level
If the timing set is keyed and can only go on one way, why do you need to manually turn engine to line up timing marks.
because if you don't and it is not lined up on the right stroke, pistons will meet the valves
@@TattsForLife I understand what you mean, but if then engine is running correctly and properly timed before you take the gears off, the new gears can only go back on the same way and crankshaft and camshaft never got out of time. Unless that doesn't make sense what I am trying to say
@@andrewhoward4054 it would be fine, but sometimes the cam can spin depending on setup, I like to double check
@@andrewhoward4054 The valve springs pushing down on the camshaft lobes can cause the cam to turn when the timing chain set is removed. Also yes, the sprockets are keyed to the cam and to the crankshaft so they can only go on in the correct orientation, but that doesn't stop the chain from being off by a tooth or 10.
Awesome video man. But where u from, no offense but first time hearing this accent
Do I have a accent, lol We all sound the same here, I don't hear a accent lol must be the deep ky accent
What is the point of lining up the dots the parts only go on one way
idk I never tryed not to line them up, but I heard if you dont line the dots up then engine will be out of time when you start it, then you could make the engine piston hit the engines valve, because the crank rotates the pistons and the cam works the valve the dots make sure the cam and crank are at the right rotation
The sprockets only go on one way, but the chain can go on lots of ways. They keyways keep each of the sprockets in the correct alignment to the camshaft or the crankshaft, but only the chain being lined up on the correct teeth keep each of the sprockets lined up correctly to each other.
Just installed my timing chain and put everything back together now truck won't start started before and ran
well maybe something is unpluged and you looked over the sensors like crank sensor and such, easy to do. also you could have it out of time, or a fuel pump could of went bad, I would look for something unpluged, then check for a bad fluse, then check fuel pressure and so on
@@TattsForLife fuel pump is still good its still priming and sending the only thing I can think of is I didn't set the harmonic balancer to the timing marks on the timing cover at tdc
@@FallenSports the balancer uses a key way and can go on only one way, without key way it would just spin
But don't you still have to set it with timing marks on the cover
Found it was my ecm came loose
Holly molly that accent
what accent lol
Does any body know what he means by wheel bumps 😅
🤔
@@TattsForLifeI guess nobody knows 😅.
for those who came here for advice, don't use a hammer to install the timing chain and gears. also, you want to put oil on the chain and gears before you put the timing cover back on or they're going to overheat and wind up being as loose as the old ones.
you do know the timing chain gets oil? just saying
Pressure washer. What's a puwey. That should pull right off lower pulley
Elmer Fudd lmao.
TattsForLife I have nothing at all against your accent, it just made me giggle a bit. Great video non the less
yah I get that alot, but its not a accent, I pick it up to mid way through grade school when I suffered a brain injury, when you go from talking good to like that. being a kid is no fun some times I cant even talk, just depends on the day or even put words together, but I carry on
I was gonna ask where you from, but nevermind now lol
@@TattsForLife whatever the reason, I like the way you speak and I like your videos.
What's is wubba mawet
Korie Creson you’re a fucking idiot
Adam Stephens that's no way to talk to your father ! Ya little shit
Korie, there is a time and place to be funny and joke around. Even though I know this will not do anything tell you this. You have to be the absolute lowest of the low to make fun of someone like this. Especially someone who is showing people how to things on his on time for free. There is something seriously missing in you that you could even do this in the first place. Hope you get some help or stay in prison.
nice video👍
Thank you 👍
