Doing this to my 82 Collectors Edition now. But so easy for me, being the engine is out of the car. Going back with a double roller kit.

Yesser, sometimes I luck out, LOL. I failed to mention I was about 20 miles out when I heard the noise. That was as gentle a return home that Vette ever had, LOL...

Dave I really admire you for knowing where to start in the removal process and then staying with it until you got down to the timing chain and gears. You are very fortunate to have a brother that continues to stop and see you even when you put him to work. Wow, it doesn't look like any of this was in any previous owner's maintenance log, ;-) . Can't wait to see Volume 35. Take care.

Thanks for the kind words Tom. Carl (my youngest Bro) lives next door and he's a;ways coming by to borrow a tool or something. Sometimes he stops by at the most opportune times, LOL. They'll probably be several episodes based on the Vette coming up....

I bet that’s the original, it’s a good thing You’ve got a shop to fix the radiator I’m sure it’s better than the aftermarket, good stop on not going down the rabbit hole, (cam, lifter….)

The rest of the nylon gear is in the oil pan. Some pieces maybe too big to come out of the drain plug hole. I suggest dropping the pan. It looks like it has some miles on that engine.

That was a flashback, looks like the same worn out nylon timing gear that came out of my first car, a 71 Monte Carlo! FYI , I’ll bet that you’ll find nylon chunks in your pick up screen of your oil pump also. Keep up with the interesting videos.

You don't have to remove the hood to take out the radiator. I just swapped my radiator out for a larger 4 row radiator without touching the hood last week. You just lift it out at an angle and the same goes for putting it back in

As you were chasing one problem then another, I was thinking this is like the garbage I went through when I was in the military working on aircraft.. then you mentioned about being an aircraft mechanic.. Sometimes it was easier to disconnect the engine and drop it down a few feet then hang it back on the wing.. What kind of aircraft did you work on? I worked on the B-52's and tankers... Well thx for bringing us along on another adventure..

Hey Gary. I was in a Cobra AH-1J Gunship squadron (HMA 369) and finished up in a Harrier AV-8A (VMA-231) squadron. I worked flightline & mainly on the GSE gear. I have a good friend that crewed on the Buffalo and another that worked on an AWAC in the 60's (the model escapes me). Thanks for watching Gary

Thanks Dave. I wanted to see what it took to do this job in a Vette. I watched with baited breath, whatever that is. I can't wait to see your comments about putting the timing cover back on. Hate that design.They added the plastic on the timing gears to make them quiet, and fail..

I had a loose chain like that after swapping it my truck wouldn't start. You think the loose chain affected my timing?
