What if your motor is binding up after you put a new timing chain on half turn?

If you have installed a timing chain and the engine will only turn a half a turn, you are out of time and may have bent valves.

What is the timing chain?
In a four-stroke overhead-cam engine, the timing chain connects the crankshaft to the camshaft. The camshaft opens and closes the valves in the cylinders and turns at half the speed of the crankshaft. Many engines now have a cog-belt instead of a chain.
Does the 1986 Chevrolet Caprice Classic have a timing chain?
Yes it does have a timing chain. any man worth half his soul knows that anything made in the good ol US of A has a steel chain not some ridiculous rubber trash like some rice patty corolla
What does a car timing chain do?
same thing as a timing belt. it connects the engine with all the other parts of the car that need to be runned. The timing belt or timing chain is used to turn the camshafts half the speed of the crankshaft. It may also turn the balance shaft, oil pump or water pump depending on the engine design.
1989 Aero Cruiser motor Home With 360 Dodge Engine Backfired and won't turn over only half fuses are working Are there fuseable links?
yes they are fuseable links you should have one at the starter but if it backfired i would check the timing gears and chain to make sure you didnt mess the gears up and that it didnt jump timing
Is the 1.8 liter Mitsubishi motor a interference motor 2001?
yes it is. if i only knew that then.... MAKE SURE that you get the timing belt changed or else it will take out half your engine when it goes. that's what happened to mine. it would have cost about $300 or less to have the timing belt changed... instead, it cost over $1300 to have that and half the engine rebuilt once the belt broke.
Where are the timing pulleys located in a motor engine?
the timing belt and pulleys driven the cameshaft at half carnk speed(engine speed) pulleys is connected to the crankshft front end of the engine. I donno weather this answer help or not :(
If your timing belt broke on your Mitsubishi 3000gt did it do damage to engine?
if the timing belt does go on gto it would be a miracle if you didn't bend half of the valves ! its whats called an interference motor. if something gets out of time - you get major interference, costs $$$$$
What could be a problem with Chevy 350 engine turn over both way only about half distance?
Timing chain may have broke or jumped and the pistons are hitting open valves.
Setting the timing on a 2001 Dodge Intrepid 2.7 engine where is the timing mark on the crankshaft to align with the top two cams?
The half moon cut out on the crank sprocket aligns with the arrow on the oil pump housing. If you don't have service manual with a sufficent picture you need to go get one. This timing chain is very complicated.
How do you change the timing belt in a 2001 Echo?
I have an Automatic 2001 Echo. I was advised by my local Toyota dealer that this model comes with a timing chain, and not a belt. The chain does not require replacement. If you are hearing belt noises, it is likely coming from the alternator belt, which is relatively cheap to replace (CAD105 incl. parts and labour at the dealership)AnswerIf you were told that the Echo has a timing belt by the dealer / mechanic, I'd look for another mechanic. The Echo's were chain operated (as mentioned by the previous author). If you're concerned about whether or not your vehicle is out of time, here's how you can check: Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature. Pull the parking break on the car, and place wheel chalks behind the wheels to secure the vehicle.If you have a Toyota scan tool (dealer item) you can connect it to the DLC3 connector (an outlet located under dashboard, beneath the steering wheel). You can see what engine code is transmitted during this process.Using a timing gun, connect the clamp to the # 1 spark plugPlace the transmission into neutralIgnition timing: 8 - 12° BTDC @ idleDisconnect the timing gun and then the engine code scanner from the car, and turn of the vehicle.Removing and inspecting the timing chain is a major job! You nearly have to take the front half of the motor apart just to get to the chain (you'll have to remove the engine mounting bracket, the cylinder head cover, the timing chain cover, the water pump, the alternator, the power steering pump, and finally...the chain (plus a few other parts). The only jobworse than replacing the timing chain for this car, is replacing the cylinder head (as you nearly have to take the entire engine apart).
Following the replacement of timing chain assembly your 2002 Dodge Intrepid starts hard runs fine idle through moderate acceleration anything past approx half throttle is met with violent convulsing?
Sounds like the chain isn't timed properly.
How do you know if timing chain is broke?
If you've got a pushrod engine like a 350 Chevrolet or a Dodge Hemi, it's almost impossible to break a timing chain. On an engine with a chain-driven overhead cam like a Mercedes or a Saab, when the chain breaks it's going to sound like you put every part in your engine in a bucket and threw it against the wall. If someone brought you the car not running, take the valve cover off and turn the engine over with a wrench; if the camshaft doesn't turn while the crankshaft's turning, the timing chain is broken. (As are half the valves, probably two pistons and lots and lots of other parts.) - - - - - In an interference-type engine, the engine will destroy itself, then not run. In a non-interference engine, it will simply not run.
