rumblefish's Duster project
Heres a veiw of the plates back side. Do install this side to the block later. The bolt and tab isn't allways there, like in the previous post, but it should have something to drip oil onto the chain.
Next shot is taking the rockers off. A 1/2 inch socket takes care of that. Mind how they come off. Theres a notch on the bottom of the shaft that MUST go in the same spot when you reinstall the shaft and rockers.
At the back of the engine is a large flat blade screw driver. This is where the distributor was. Put the flat tip of the blade into the intermediate shaft where the distributor sits in. Give it a twist and the gear sgould come out. If it is stuborn, and it probably will be, a shot with a baby sledge will help it get free. No need to take a full wack here. The oil pump is at the other end.
With that out of the way, you can turn the cam whcich will raise the lifters up to make an easy grab. Pull out the lifters. Some may be rather hard to get out. If such is the case, leave them raised.
Pull the cam out and put your finger under the lifter and push it up with one hand and pull with the other.
The next picture is of the lifter. Huuummmmm, looks like it has been there awhile. Next is the cam. Not looking to good.
OK, Timing chain, Cam, lifter, your FIRED!
