Try an solve this temp problem
Bwdakrt it's right at the top I think that's right..
Thanks hey you , I have the mopar double roller chain set that you mentioned I should get I'm just hesitant to attempt it Haynes manual makes it look like rocket science .
I've taken down to the lifter valleys 3 times that's easy
Once to fix plenium
Second time lost a 1/2 socket turns out it was on the battery bad habit
Third installing 1.7 used royal purpal assembly lube and pushrod stuck to the rocker when I pulled it away and the rod fell down the hole not happy.
So if its not to bad compared to the intake..some tips might be nice

If you have done the plenum, the timing set is childs play. Some of the same stuff has to come off.... alternator, a/c compressor, and the bracket, after that, take out the fan and shroud, (I followed someone else's advice, and took them out together... did make it fairly easy) water pump, and six more bolts, and the cover comes off. (and coolant goes everywhere.... draining the block first might be a good idea......) Need a puller for the balancer, and a three jaw for the crank gear, once they are broke loose though, they usually just pull right off.
Once you are down to the gears, turn the crank so the timing marks on 'em line up, pull 'em off, Don't Move Anything.... put the new set on, and stick it all back together. (after appropriate cleaning of course.)
Careful taking the cover off. There are two bolts up thru the oil pan, into the bottom of the cover, and tearing the pan gasket is WAY too easy.... a gentle touch, and it shouldn't be a problem. Make sure everything is CLEAN where gaskets have to seal. Coolant passes thru the cover, so, pay special attention to those areas, and a bit of RTV is damn near a requirement. (that, and the sealing surfaces around the coolant ports like to erode... and leave some fairly serious pits... if it's really bad, you can get a new cover, and they aren't hideously expensive....)
It's also a good time to replace the water pump, since you have to pull it anyway......

Yeah I just recently did the mopar double roller timing chain install along with my plenum. It was really easy.
Just pull the old one off an plop the new one on. It's makes a difference, the engine runs much smoother.
An unless your engine is brand new, expect lots of slack, the original chains wear out really quick.
On the 5.9 the crank bolt pulley is 1 and 1/4 in. I had to really hunt for a socket that big.
Don't forget to lightly oil the chain before covering it back up
