Pontiac Firebird Timing Chain
The Timing Chain of Pontiac Firebird automobiles has being used to ensure that the camshaft and crankshaft are in phase so that the right valves open at the correct time for efficiency. This chain is located at the front of the engine and need greasing and is mostly used in big engines with high capacities. Ever since the early 1990, the use of metal timing chains has been preferred over the rubber timing belts as they are not easily worn out and hence do not require frequent replacement. In most cases, the Pontiac Firebird timing chains are very durable, and problems developing from this part can stem from low-quality lubrication or the tensioner and chain guides, and the driver can sometimes hear a rattling sound coming from the engine. A short chain drive is thus most appropriate in the pushrod engines and this has been applied on different models of Pontiac Firebird.
Each OEM Pontiac Firebird Timing Chain we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Pontiac Firebird Timing Chain Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install Timing Chain and Variable Timing Sprocket in V8 engine on Pontiac Firebird?A:Loosen the cable on the negative terminal of the battery, right, then remove the vibration damper and crankcase cover. Remove all of the spark plugs from the engine. Loosely replace the crankshaft pulley bolt with several thickness of washer or spacer and rotate the crankshaft in anticlockwise direction to align the timing mark on crank shaft and cam shaft so that the Camshaft sprocket and chain will also be properly aligned. Head the camshaft sprocket mounting bolts, held the camshaft sprocket from the camshaft and get rid of the sprocket and chain. If required, employ the special tool of puller to remove the crankshaft sprocket. Fits the crankshaft sprocket on the crankshaft in the same way in which it was removed by using one of the bolts and washers from the puller. Place the timing chain above the camshaft sprocket and provide some tension by having some part of the chain hang over the crankshaft sprocket. When the timing marks perfectly align, then place the chain over the crankshaft sprocket and then slide the camshaft sprocket over and tighten the bolts. After that check the alignment of the timing marks both on camshaft and crank shaft sprockets where camshaft sprocket mark should be made at 6 'o' clock and crank sprocket mark should be made at 12 'o' clock and a line passing through the center of both sprockets must pass through both timing marks. If misaligned, position the camshaft sprocket as it is indicated that upon proper alignment, the engine is set in a manner whereby the number six piston is at TDC on the compression stroke. Last but not the least, pour some drops of engine oil on the chain and fit all the other parts starting from the one, which was removed last.
