Did you replace the gears also?

Oh, I thought you were measuring a new one. That isn't a real lot at all.

Did you have the timing connector disconnected at the time?

Re: timing chain and gears play Sign In

That's why you saw all the movement. The computer was controlling the timing. Unplugging the timing connector puts the computer in bypass mode for setting the timing.

It's under the dash on the passenger side. Tan wire with black stripe.
