After I changed my timing chain my oil press sensor goes down to zero and car warms up quicker in the morning and i have noticed a little loss of power. Does anyone have any ideas what may have done wrong or is there something I could check to make sure i did it right. <edited><editID>olb55</editID><editDate>37996.726875</editDate></edited>

 

whatb is your engine temp?? are you running really high temp??

 

normal temp about 180, it just gets up there quicker than it did before. I notice loss of power at high rpm range 4 1/2 to 6<edited><editID>olb55</editID><editDate>37998.6328356481</editDate></edited>

 

I think maybe your 1 tooth off on seting in the dist.

 

if you didn't pull it you might be 1 notch off at the timing chain...what kind of set did you buy?

 

I'm not sure what kind they were but i have everything off again and i have the bottom gear at 12:00 but the top gear won't go in so i turned the bottom one counterclockwisemaybe 1/8 of an inchand it lined up with top gear notchit should be in the correct placeboth marks are like this :

 

is that the right way? first time doing this if bothe marks are lines up it should be in time

 

how many keys are in you gears. are you at top dead center?

 

my book told me to turn the crank until the two marks weretogether and I did and I brought the 1 pistonup. If i'm off a too the againg will using a timing light let me know if it is off. thanks for tring to help I just don't no what to do it seems like i followed the directions in the chiltons and it might be still messed up

 

did you put on just a chain orsprockets also?... if you put on new sprockets, is the new crank one adjustable....if so make sure the keyway is in the 0 degree spot...usually the have 3 slots, -4*,0*,+4* when you sy you lost mid-top end that would suggest that you are not in the 0* slot...hope this helps</P><edited><editID>Black Horse</editID><editDate>37998.7337847222</editDate></edited>
