I just did a timing chain on on my car, changed water pump, oil pump, thermostat, new belts, chains, tensioners, sprockets. I put it all back together and it cranks slow n a noise as if a chain is loose plus when is cracking sounds like a low backfire. I aligned all timing marks on the chains but not sure on crankshaft n one side of both side chains felt really loose! Help how to set timing now that is really out of timing?

Hey JUANCA,

It sounds like you got the chains out of time. This is a vary involved job here are some diagrams to help you put you will need a special tool to hold the camshafts in place.

http://www.alldatapro.com or http://www1.prodemand.com has instructions on how to do the job.

Please let us know what happens.

Best, Ken
