If your doing the chain, may as well do the water and oil pump also. Drop the pan and clean out all the gunk. It's not all that bad of a job. I had mine done in 2 weekends. 1 to tear down and clean 1 to clean and build up.
Just started reading this thread, I have a bunch of catching up to do...

Pm'd ya back
this job can be done in a day, IF you don't drop the pan. It is recommended to drop the pan if you suspect fragments may be clogging the oil pick-up.

Well, ya a day. When I did the front of mine I also did a H/G and swapped heads. A day is pushing it but if you have a good helper then it's not out of the question. I did mine with very little help. Good helpers make all the difference.

thanks rb. i read through the process, looks all right.
the only thing is finding a torque wrench. i ain't got one. i could take the valve cover off this weekend if i had one. it does sound easy enough, and if i see anything, i'll order the parts i need

I got a torque wrench, definitley something you should have in your tool chest, eventually.
also the bolts to the timing cover are differing lengths:

Yeah, you can do this pretty quickly, depending on which route you go. I pulled the pan because I had a pretty good leak there. Plus, it makes it a lil easier far as getting the cover on quick. As 4crawler mentioned... "be patient and don't force the cover back on, it can take some finagling to get it back on over the keys if you don't remove the head". YEP, took some finagling for me, even though I cleaned them up, well, lol.
Best wishes, Ian, ..... Far as the Video? Hmmmm, that sounds very 'erratic'. LOVE THE sound on that cam btw, much better than mine! Grrr! lol. My tick is more steady, like a ticking clock(repetitive). That sounds a lil erratic(Chain rattle, valve ticking/rattle???) But you were RIGHT OVER that spot where I hear all my noise 'INSIDE', lol... that rear/driver valve cover stud. Did you take a stethoscope to the thing like I mentioned? You can listen into the covers(Valve and Timing), pretty well with those!
PS> Torque wrench? Meaning, to do the timing kit and cover job? You could at least pull the valve cover, yeah? Take a lookski in there and get a long screwdriver on that tensioner?

OH YEAH, Lumpy, ..I did. I commented many times, and no, ...never 'playing', as in razzing him, really. I admire that build/job, man! Wish I'd have done something similar(only OUT of the Truck, lol)....I could have done 20 OF THEM BY NOW! HAHAHA. Oh well, ...You live, you learn, you get kicked in the .....Kiwi's along the way, ....then ya get up and DIY even more, each time you get SCREWED OVER! lol.
