Does anyone know where i can get a timing chain...new or used....for a 1981 Ford F150 with a 300ci I6? Ive looked all over and cant find anything for it, but as time goes by i clearly need it more and more every day! my best guess would be the salvage yard but man what a job!
300 I6 has gear to gear=no chain; matched gear set at NAPA is $82; but check Autozone or Advance Auto for any savings. I wouldn't recommend used gears; unless you know they in excellent condition.
Check in with Vampiro in the Winnipeg area here at FTE. "Big Red", his '78 has a 300 and he's done a lot of work with it. He can probably give you some site references.
MY truck pings at a lower RPM and diesels when i shut it off... are these signs that i need to replace the gears? Adjusting timing doesnt get rid of either.
