Yes,to a few motors.It's just a bit more TLC that the cam& crank triggers get closer function with each other,Then the PCM -computer can really wake up the motor.109 degree is the number.U TUBE and instruction with the wheel guide you.it's strait forward,easy too follow.As a rule with all motors I build,degree of the cam is important enough to do beside lining up the dots.Just a thought..................................

 

Replacing the old, worn out, sloppy timing chain on my 96 ram was one of THE BEST improvements in driveability. Major change in the engines personality.

 

This.

I also added the tensioner mentioned in the TSB; helps keep the cam timing coherent as the parts age.

Gotta be careful with that though. The tensioner is designed for use with the morse style chain, it has lots of surface area for the tensioner to ride on. I went with a double roller chain, and I suspect that would eat up the shoe on the tensioner is pretty short order, so, I didn't install one.

 

I'll let you know the next time I open up the timing chain cover since I went with the double roller and the tensioner when I did mine.

 

It might, but I have about 64,000 miles on mine.
