Re: Dummy Timing Chain Install Question

Very important:

Do not tighten the timeing chain cover bolts until the harmonic balancer has been fully seated and tightened. Once the balancer is installed then go back and tighten the timing chain cover bolts. This keeps the seal in the cover concentric with the snout of the balancer.

Some engines have dowel pins for the timing cover but most engines don't. Not sure what the Packard sreight 8 has.
