Hi all, Im doing the timing chain replacement on my 91 22re. Ive never done it before and I want to make sure I cover all my bases. I got a new oil pump, water pump, all new hoses and belts, gaskets, and chain kit. I've got it all torn apart and ready to go back together tomorrow but Im wondering if there isnt something Im not thinking about that should be replaced while Im in there. Thanks.

 

You seem to have it done, check your crank to see if i needs a "speedi" sleve, or whatever its called. Other than that, it sounds like you got it, you may also want to drop your oil pan and pick out the chunks of plastic from your old guide.

 

Great, thanks a lot. Im looking forward to getting this thing back together.

 

make sure you put some silicone on that 1 bolt that goes throught the head into the cover otherwise you are going to leak there for sure

 

did you get just a new chain or did you get one with new slide rail/guide & tensioner pussher

 

Probably everything since it was a kit

 

My kit does have a new tensioner
