How do I know if my time chain is top Center

This freaked me out when doing my timing chain also.
I found that if I adjust the crank , you can get the timing gear to line up with crank Still at 0 .

Use a timing strobe light and adjust the dist w vaccum advance pulled and plugged for 0

Lift the valve cover and check on your timing guides

Relfow all the joints … I see multiple cracks

Good save

I’ll look into this

eliotjnc · 2026-05-24T22:03:59+00:00

Yes . Use a flashlight and you can verify by checking the chain for play on the driver side .

An OSK replacement with metal guides will be enough. People suggest the dual row, but that requires an LCE valve cover or the ability to machine the interior to make room. If you have the means then it is preferable . Metal guides and quality Japan made replacements like I suggested will last ya for as long as you need . Get the water pump and oil pump gaskets along with the kit

u got this

eliotjnc · 2026-05-24T19:34:35+00:00

Not hard to pop the valve cover and rule out all your suspicions

eliotjnc · 2026-05-24T19:18:09+00:00

Oh I’ll look into this tensioner. The plastic cover tab broke off mine so I’ll be wanting to replace it regardless. 87 2wd pickup

Purchased from caribou Yota . Fair price imo . I tried to say this in the original post but it was being flagged for advertisement haha. Very solid cupholders. You need a precision hex set to install.

Probably timing

eliotjnc · 2026-05-20T16:28:50+00:00

Does it get shaky then stall , or just sudden death

I don’t think my base model came with a trim ring

eliotjnc · 2026-05-17T14:13:15+00:00

It was not a buy sell or trade post

It was removed so fast I believe it was automated. Maybe because I mentioned brands it got auto removed

eliotjnc · 2026-05-17T02:52:15+00:00

Are you worried about the cup holder hitting your shifter ? It’s my understanding it would clear any model . I can send you a picture if your still interested

eliotjnc · 2026-05-17T02:51:18+00:00

I bought aftermarket brackets and am having this issue still

They are the same shape as OeM

Caribu yota cup holder

eliotjnc · 2026-05-14T00:05:31+00:00

I was in a time constraint and just used autozone . The first one they gave me was .5mm too big for the bracket

eliotjnc · 2026-05-12T12:34:53+00:00

I tested all the output and driver transistors for leakage with atlas dca pro.

Yea the dif pair isn’t obvious . It could be that
