Hi Kaila,here's a Autozone repair guide on your timing chain. Repair Guides Engine Mechanical Components Timing Chain Cover Chain...

now u sound like a smart mechanic so Im sure u can read a service manual-fixya hasum

I has a DVD recorer myself , they just tend to die sometimes with no real explanation. IF it cant play or read DVD's then most likely the laser is broken. There hard to get replaced aswell

Yes you will need the following:

Cam
Lifters
Assembly lube
Water pump gasket
Intake gasket
Timing cover gasket

Lifter removal tool
Puller for harmonic balancer
Cam installation tool/removal tool


I also would recommend replacing the timing chain and timing gears since you are going to have to take the timing chain off anyhow.

You will also need the associated tools to do the job, plenty off rachets, box wrenches and such.

If you are doing mechanical lifters you will also a feeler gauge to measure the valve clearance and make adjustments.

I cant think of anything else off the top of my head.

If you are doing a cam with more lift then I would recommend replacing your valve springs as well, it is easy and it will assure you do not incur valve float. You will have to take the rockers off when you install the new lifters because you have to remove the pushrods. I also recommend you replace the pushrods while you are at it, they are cheap. You will need a valve spring compressor and new valve springs and locks, they are pretty cheap.

timing belts and chains are 2 very diff things, belts are rubber and wear out in about 80,000, chains are well chains and made of very strong steel they will last the life of the engine in most cars and trucks but not all cases. there is no recommended change mileage by any manufacturer, if the engine is torn down for an overhaul then yes it is wise to replace the chain, but only then, otherwise it is a very expensive waste of money.

it has a belt. approx cost to replace belt, around $300

http://www.toolparts.co.uk/acatalog/Motorcycle_Tools.html There is a riveter/breaker tool part way down. Make and model.. you may be able to find one in the states. As for lubing the axle, do it every time, and try to find waterproof grease.
