Hi,
66
L6 200. Are the timing marks easy to see?
I just did this last week on our 66 block. Just bring it to TDC on
#1. Remove the pulley/dampner and the timing cover bolts. Remember to
remove the front oil pan bolts to the timing cover.
I use an impact wrench on the cam bolt while holding the crank bolt so I
don't slip out of TDC. You'll then have to remove the oil slinger. It
just slips off the keyway on the crank snout. Carefully pry the cam
sprocket to start wiggling it off the cam. Both the cam and crank
sprockets are "keyed".
Get the new sprockets and chain aligned with their marks. Slip the crank
sprocket on first until the cam sprocket needs mounted. Just remember
to hold the crank, cam sprocket, and chain as an assembly when mounting.
Once you get the cam sprocket started, start threading the bolt to
hold it in place. Tap light a rubber mallet to seat it further on the
end of cam.
I would then remove the cam bolt and coat it lightly with thread-loc and
then thread it back in. You don't want it backing out later when your
driving down the road. ( don't ask how I know). Remember to put the oil
slinger back on.
Your Engine has an oil slinger.
