 Subject: timing chain
IP: Logged
Message:
After suffering poor gas mileage for about two years, I changed out the plugs, wires, rotor, and distributor cap and 02 sensor. Not much help. I can hear what sounds like timing chain slap coming from the engine. Could a loose or worn chain cause poor gas mileage by not advancing the timing correctly? The truck has 150,000. Any help would be appreciated.

If the timing chain is that worn that u can hear it slap you will be loosing power and MPG. As the vavles are off time with TDC. Once u put in a new one u will notice alot more TQ and about 3 MPG or that was my case anyway. Its not a hard job Just takes a day and i would replace the front main seal well your in there its about 7 bucks
