question
|
|

1985 GMC 1500 pickup. 350 cu. put a new timing chain in,runs fine. sometimes when i try to start it it sounds and feels like someone stuck a wrench in the engine. is it possible i didnt get the crank bolt tight enough where the balancer is. thanks frank

Have you checked to see if you have a bad starter? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

just a thought there.is it possable that someone advanced the timing before the chain replacement to compensate for a worn chain and now the timing is advanced by a few degrees ,that will cause what i think you're discribing,worth a check...good luck
