Message:
Hey all. Quick question. Will a timing chain made for the 318 (5.2L) also work on the 3.9. Thanks!

Yep, most parts off the 5.2 work on the 3.9! Same bearings, same connecting rods, same pistons, same valvesprings, same lifters, same pushrods...
Well, you get the idea. :0)
The 3.9L is a 5.2L with two cylinders taken off. The same timing chain will work, and a lot of people use the 5.2L double roller chain. :0)

Yup...same chain. Don't forget to grab the chain tensioner from your local dealer though.

Chain tensioner? What's that? I have never done a timing chain before, but the old chain is rattling like crazy, so I think it's about time. Thanks for the help!!!

Bernd will correct me if I'm wrong...
Chain Tensioner: Spring loaded idler sprocket that keeps tension on the chain, to take up slack. :0)
