Pontiac Fiero Timing Chain
The timing chain on Pontiac fiero car models mechanically ensures that the reference point of the camshaft and crankshaft are properly aligned at the right intervals for valve control the engine needs to perform maximum capacity. This metal chain is situated at the front of the engine, it needs lubrication so as to run properly-it is well suited for the higher cylinder engines used in the Fiero. From the early 90s, their use of metal timing chains has replaced rubber timing belts, this since more durable and they dont need to be replaced frequently. Although Pontiac Fiero timing chains are deemed durable and capable of withstanding a lot of wear and tear, there are problems which arise from low oil levels or damage to the timing chain tensioner and chain sprockets, usually accompanied by any kinds of rattling noise from the engine bay. Pushrod engines such as ones used in the Fiero prefer a short chain drive since they better handle torque reversals over the gear drives in a rather less vociferative and sturdier manner.
Each OEM Pontiac Fiero Timing Chain we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Pontiac Fiero Timing Chain Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to replace the timing chain and sprockets in V6 engine on Pontiac Fiero?A: Lose the cable from the negative battery terminal and thereafter, remove the vibration damper and the crankcase front cover. Nishino also said before removing the chain and sprockets examine the sprocket teeth for being wore down and the chain for looseness. If any sprocket exhibits sign of wearing, they should be replaced. A timing chain that one may not have changed earlier or has more than 25,000 miles on it, will require replacement as any inaction on the same may result to superfluous shaking and shivering of the engine, and least miles per gallon. Camshaft sprocket, crankshaft sprocket and the timing chain if any of them are worn out, then all of them are replaced. In order to start with removal, rotate the crankshaft so as to align the timing marks on the cam and crank shafts such that number one and four pistons are at the top centre. Loosen the three camshaft sprocket retaining bolts from inside with a screwdriver and a breaker bar to such an extent that you may require to tap the sprocket with a soft-faced hammer. Should the camshaft be pulled, endeavour to lift the sprocket off the dowel pin; otherwise, the crankshaft sprocket must be unbolted and pulled off. After that, unscrew the old crankshaft sprocket from the crankshaft and, after that, screw on the new crankshaft sprocket on the same crankshaft but making sure it matches the key. Oil the tw4o contacting surfaces of the camshaft sprocket and then make sure that the two tabs of the timing mark engage with each other as the chain is pulled over the sprockets. Put the camshaft sprocket on the camshaft while tightening the retainers of the sprocket without using hammering technique. Check that the timing marks are lined up if not reposition the camshaft and repeat the same until they are in order. Last of all, pour engine oil on the chain and then reverse the sequence to replace every part.
