use impact gun
We’re can I buy the tool ?
if timing chain has skipped a tooth, the car will run like crap. you would also hear rattling coming from timing chain area as chain is loose and stretched for it to jump a tooth. more likely to have lost a tooth off one of the timing gears. also u will not be able to time the engine correctly in this condition
loose bolt on distributer will allow distributer to move worn or stretched timing belt or chain can slip or jump out of timing broken tooth on timing gears If it's an older engine, with points, they just wear out.
Break, as in come apart in several pieces or the outside ring came loose from the center. In the first case if there was no damage to it then a bad casting would probably be the cause. In the second case, over reving or dumping the clutch could be the cause.
check the exhaust system for blockage Can be that the plug wires were installed incorrectly. Can also be the timing chain is worn and has jumped a tooth. The distributor also may be loose and has turned so far the engine is out of time.
Check for loose or corroded battery cables Check for a loose ground cable
Just taking a guess........Loose chain.
A loose timing chain can only be repaired by replacing the timing chain . A loose timing belt means the belt is worn out or the tensioner is worn out. Replace worn parts.
A loose timing chain should be replaced.
I have a 1982 v45 magna and the timing chain is loose can it be adjusted thanks
A loose timing chain can cause the 305 h to jump time. with improper time, the engine will not start.
Loose timing chain or belt.
Timing chain noise is most commonly coming from a loose chain. The tensioner could be loose or broken or the chain could be stretched. If the chain slips or breaks before you fix it, then not only will the engine stop running but you could cause serious damage.
AnswerI think this engine uses a timing chain, but I am not 100% positive. Regardless, the noise you are hearing is either a timing chain that is loose or a belt. I would suspect that the timing chain is loose. Have this looked at ASAP.It could also be the timing tensioner also.
If it is loose it can jump time which will cause poor performance. If it is loose it needs to be repaired immediately.
You'd have a hard time breaking a small block Chevy timing chain. As the chain gets loose it will run worse and worse. But to anser your question. No, the chain coming off won't make the valves hit the pistons, but it would make one awful racket as the chain got wound up on the crank gear and smashed through the timing chain cover and from face of the oil pan. ;)
Yes
Sounds like a loose timing chain.
