2-13-12 - New parts are starting to come in for the V6 Vortec Engine rebuild...(page4)
New reground crankshaft!!! (Mains are 0.10us & Rods are .25mm us) good deal!
This next set of pics below is a snag that I ran into.... ordered a timing chain from the
local parts store and this is what came in...... GARBAGE! My 10-speed bike chain is
heavier than this!!! Ended up taking this back and going somewhere else to get the right
one since my local store was unable to get what I wanted....
This is a Cloyes set --- very disapointing!

Apparently the cloyes chain above wouldn't work with my setup anyways......
as I don't have the bracket behind the chain, with the plastic tensioner...
I found this pic on the internet while I was searching
for the cloyes chain above......
for the cloyes chain above......
Now this is a timing chain! (The correct one that I wanted.... about the same as the stock one...)
---very similar to a small block chevy 350 timing chain....
This set is an S.A. Gear timing set..... (from what I hear, this is the old DynaGear corp.)
