Timing chain cover
I now have obtained all the correct parts, ie pulleys brackets and water pump for my 1969 351 W. Before I start re-installing the parts I have a few questions. the harmonic balancer appears to be origional, should I replace it? and what about pulling the timing chain cover and inspecting the gears and chain? I also will be replacing the electric puel pump with a manuel one, doing this would allow me to inspect the ecentric. The engine runs strong so I have no intention of pulling it and doing a rebuild anytime soon,
Thanks for your thoughts, Steve |

Re: Timing chain cover
Hard to say without knowing the history of the engine... but if it is of unknown age/mileage to YOU, than I would suggest you replace it for your piece of mind, if nothing else.
