Yes, especially if the timing is overadvanced.
BAD STARTER OR TIMING OFF LEAKING FLOATS
It is behind the starter. You will need to remove starter to get to it. I WOULD CHECK TO SEE IF IT IS NOT IN FRONT OF THE OIL PAN 1ST, BOTTOM OF TIMING CHAIN COVER.. MY 1999 CHEVY TAHOE 5.7 IS LOCATED THERE... EVERYONE TOLD ME ALSO THAT IS WAS ABOVE THE STARTER. AND AFTER TAKING IT OUT . IT WAS NOT THERE;...
it has both chain and gears
Underneath you would have to get under the car
That requires an engine scanner to set the timing on that engine. The timing is computer controled.
the timing marks are not on crankgear on cam gear Chevy Lumina 3.1 1995 would it be keyway to keyway
The starter solenoid is attached to the starter. Follow the positive battery cable from the battery, it will lead you to the starter solenoid. The starter would have to be removed to replace the starter solenoid.
Have the battery and/or starter tested for free at your local auto parts store.
i got a quote for 380 dollars with a second hand starter
The starter solenoid is located on the starter. It would be more cost-effective to have the entire starter replaced with a good remanufactured unit on this application.
bad solenoid,& starter
Chevy 350s have timing chains,not belts. It is designed for the life of the motor. If it is "streched" , the cam timing would be slightly off. Would need a degree wheel, a dial indicator and stock cam specs. intake/closing.
