Hey guys, I recently got the timing adjusted along with a new chain done on my 92 S10 4.3L. And wow it really restored the power, before it was running really sluggish. Well I'm thinking maybe I should check the chain and timing on my 89 Firebird V6 jus tto see if it helps the car out like it did my s10. It only cost bout $135 with labor to get it fixed too. I'm thinking I'll probly get a double roller chain also. What u guys think.

 

Doing my chain today...in fact...I'm about to head out the door to do it.

 

Dollar for effort, one of the BEST things you can do for these V-6 engines. Think of this timing chain job as a cheap engine rebuild.
It truly feels like that much power restored.
STRONGLY SUGGEST
GET A SLEEVE FOR THE BALANCER snout.
It's four dollars. Pioneer makes them.
The timing chain set up I got is Dynomax or something like that & was like $30. Local pep Boys.
Will last 50-75K miles easily.
Try to go inexpensive, as by the time the chain dies/wears out again, will you really want to keep the car?
Pull out distributor and rebuild that too.
Your engine will SING to the stronger upper rpms, like never before!

 

if only the engine didn't have a knock sensor then you could get a gear drive for that noisy supercharger sound.

 

Doing the timming chain was a great improvement in my 2.8 V6.. I got a Coyles Double Roller for 69.99 from summit.
