Hi,

I´ver heard there is an issue with the non-standard timing chains where the camshaft wheels could interfere with the thrustplate retaining bolts. ´think the Cloyes is one that doesn´t fit (?).

Is there any Duplex timing chain kit that DOES fit ??

Obviously there are a few makes of them.

The engine in question is a 4.2 (very early) interim type.

Thx!

With some engines they fit with some they don't. Depending on the weather on the day of manufacturing...

If they d not fit right away the timing cover can be machined to make them fit.

How is my engine doing?

Cheers

Hi Carsten,

I´d say it´s (the engine) fine. Though I struggle to complete it as still some parts are missing.

I´ll let you know.

Rgds,

Hendrik
