New timming Chain tensioner should be added to your list of new parts.

 

Wouldnt that be covered with a new timing chain?

 

Im beginning to think that finding the parts for the check valve delete is going to be more work than the job itself...spent all morning at NAPA....autozone and oriellys and finally lowes.....all i have to show for it is a couple of clamps and the hose...lol....gonna call a diff NAPA across town...gonna burn $40 worth of gas trying to find em

 

Thats all you need. Check out my fix.https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...ll-delete.html
Been runnin that way with no issues at all.

It does not come with the timming chain set. Thats a mopar part# above.

 

I'll take note of that...Thanks

This will be my 1st time inside a motor by the way...I do Have help from an very good mechanic so i wont be "flying blind"

 

Ok...so after burning $10 worth of gas and numerous phone calls looking for parts, I decided to go the "2 hose clamps and a piece of hose" route

BUT...when u buy "a foot" of tranny line from NAPA...thats ALL u get and I wasnt comfotable with that little coverage on the lines...needed another inch or 2(dont we all)

Soooooo...I borrowed a quick disconnect tool and took the thing off, used an 15/64 drill bit and CAREFULLY drilled that sucker out of there.
After a 1/2 can of brakeclean and ALOT of water dousing and more brakeclean....I'm confident I got all remnants of the checkball and the other crap out of there...reinstalled it and added a1/2 quart of fluid.

Done in 20 mins,15 of which was cleaning the hose.

cost?......$10 in gas and $2.50 for the unused tranny hose....

Thanks for the help guys....

 

Heres a link to my Plenum repair. I did everything you talked about doing at the beginning except the roller rockers and took pics. Figured it may help a bit. Good luck man!

Thanks...I plan on having the computer in the garage so i can reference the forum......there is ALOT to remember and soak up...and i cant remember what i did yesterday, so ill need the reminders...lol

 

If ya get really stuck, send me a PM. You aren't that far away, and I would happily come down and lend a hand, bit of cash for the gas would be all I would ask. (and maybe a beer or two..... )
