![]() Have you ever replaced a timing chain set on an engine that is still in the vehicle? It is MUCH easier while the engine is out. Doing this now before installing the engine is an added precaution/preventative maintenance step. That way you will be more confident about how long until the chain or gears wear out.

![]() Seriously though, unless the engine is tired and/or chain has obvious stretch in it, why bother?

Re: Tough Times call for Tough Decisions
The 472 is a very old engine, they had nylon timing upper gear teeth from the factory. Enough for me.
