It would be nice to have someone to hand down your skills to man, someone with a good back and 2 good hands that works for weed… I know someone but my back is meh, lol. Now you are doing one handed timing chain replacement…sure you ain’t Chuck Norris? Seriously inspirational glad the cut healed anyway…a pleasure reading your posts.
that seems almost as bad as my 1968 tempest… GM 350 with a …wait for it…NYLON …timing chain!! that was a big project for me at the time. i was a high school student with a craftsmen tool set. Napa would rent you the puller.
And sometimes I forget I moved several states away and do not have what I used too for tools…lol
So, off to get a 20 ton press…lol
Yes, I was hoping against all odds, I could tap that pinion thru…but to no avail.
Big thick pressing plates.
Bore 2 holes through the middle of each plate.
Put a heating probe in one hole and a temp sensing probe in the other on each plate.
Bunch of heat resistant glue and a controller.
Boom.
