Joe Flanagan Posted September 4, 2014 Report Posted September 4, 2014 How did it go with the timing chain? Quote
SpecialK Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) The new chain and sprockets are installed. It was very bad to remove the old sprocket. I have destroyed the old sprocket. That was the only way... I take the old Position for the parts.I hope the Engine runs good... Edited September 5, 2014 by GermanP15 Quote
Don Coatney Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 I do hope you aligned the timing marks? Quote
seabee1950 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 I never use a hammer on my tools that are not made to be hit, if you don't have an impact then use a long brake over bar and more then that you got a real problem, I understand there are times when you MUST sacrifice a tool but it should be rare. I removed mine with a barker bar it was not that hard but then that's me. Like Tim said if its out, lock it on the rear of the crank then get it lose. Quote
SpecialK Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Posted September 5, 2014 I dont use a hammer. I cut the sprocket on the side.The Problem was that the old sprocket was too much undersized.The first puller-tool (!?!) "Abzieher" is brocken, the second was a heavy one - but the sprocket dosen´t move.... so i cut it!Someone has changed the position of the sprocket - look at the pic! I take all positions like it was.

seabee1950 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 Sorry some how I though you were beating on your tools, guess I need to read before I post on things.I will say you might have heated the sprocket some and that might of helped you.Again SorryI just got my engine started and it is a sweet sound, I wish you all the luck in your build. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=865930076751776 Quote
seabee1950 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 Hey Germany I found where you were told buy Jerry Roberts on a post he made, he hammers on his tools, I was hoping you didn't take that advice. Ich wünsche dir einen schönen Tag Quote
Jerry Roberts Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 Hey Germany I found where you were told buy Jerry Roberts on a post he made, he hammers on his tools, I was hoping you didn't take that advice. Ich wünsche dir einen schönen Tag Yes , that is true , If it didn't have an impact wrench , I would hammer on my wrench a couple of blows to get the job done . I don't always go by the book . I try to use what I have with out buying more stuff . Guilty as charged . Does anyone else use a screwdriver to scrape with on occasion ? That is a no-no too . Does anyone use a pipe wrench sideways ? Does anyone use a cheater bar ? I am guilty again . I admit it . Quote
DJ194950 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) My auto shop teacher from freshman thru junior years said Always use the correct tool for the Job!, But if your working on a customers auto get the job Done with what you Have! I worked for years on construction rental equipment and what I did was use what I had in way on tools to get the job done,But, if I did that same job a second time and had to use the improper tool a second time if was time to find and buy the correct tool. If way an very expensive tool I went to the boss and talked him to having the company buy one for the shop. At home a slightly different story, but if you know the chances of doing the same work again, buy the tool. My 50 cents. DJ Edited September 7, 2014 by DJ194950 Quote
