Ford 302 Timing Chain Replacement

Today I’m going to be removing my timing chain cover and replacing my old worn down timing chain.

This is the timing chain I bought: https://amzn.to/2wMFOrT

Also, this is the Impact Driver I used and it was amazing: https://amzn.to/2KYy3Z7

Removing the timing chain is pretty simple. But, it’s recommended to loosen your rockers and move them out of the way before you install a new timing chain.

First thing to do is remove the fan from the water pump, Then remove the belts from the alternator and power steering pump. Then the harmonic balancer. If you are having trouble removing the harmonic balancer I put together a video for that, so take a look at that one.

After you have the harmonic balancer out you’ll need to remove the damper spacer. Then remove the bolts holding the timing chain cover to the engine block.

Remove the timing cover and water pump as an assembly so you can hold the water pump when pulling off the cover. Then clean up the gasket on the timing cover and you’re done!

You can see there was a lot of slop on my stock timing chain, so I’m excited to get the new chain on there and see how it does.

Make sure when reinstalling the chain, you line up the dot on the Big timing sprocket with the dot on the smaller sprocket.

This process is the same on the early Ford Mustangs, Broncos, and F100 trucks. Really anything with a small block Ford 302.
