got a 96 500 sporty and got to put a head gasket on....should i put it in time before i tear it apart???i just thought it would be a little easier to take off the rocker box and time it befor i take it apart....anyone???

 

anyone??? need help......

 

yes you need put it in time for the sake of not bending something with it being in a bind when you start loosening the bolts. comes in handy on reassembly if you dont move the crank/flywheel.

 

ya, time it before u tear it apart then all u have to do is set the cam back in there make sure when u time it that u put tension on the chain, otherwise you'll be a tooth off

 

isnt there like a 9/16ths bold u take out to look at the flywheel with a timing mark on it??? Gonna do it all tommarow....if anyone is out there with info holla back..

 

yea there is a bolt on the flywheel side of the motor. should be pretty close to the top and at a slight angle. just make sure that the valve train is loose when you have it in time. sometimes just the intake will be loose. both the exhaust and the intake need to be loose

 

they wont rattle out???? i dont wanna mess this thing up..
