Are you just swapping dampeners are replacing the timing chain?
Here is the tool I use to press-on the dampener.
A VD bolt from a V-8 will also do the job.

Guys I was just wondering if you have some tips on getting the harmonic balancer/damper pulley back onto a slant 6. I can get it off with a puller, but I assume it doesn't simply slide back on there, since it appears to be pressed on at the factory. Are there any special tips/techniques? Thanks. |

Assuming your engine didn't have use previously, you can use a crank bolt from a Mopar small block to press it on. |

The puller kit I got on loan from the auto store also had the tool to press it back on in the same toolkit. It was either Autozone or Advance Auto, if you have one nearby. |

I plan to change the timing chain. I will check Auto Zone first. Thanks for the ideas. |

Be sure to degree-in the cam when you replace the timing chain set. Adding a few degrees of cam advance will help low speed power and performance. It is a good idea to ream-out (drill oversize) the two T.Cover location pin holes so the cover has a little "float" on the pins. Set-up the gasket, install the T. cover and bolts but leave them loose, until you install the dampener. This allows the seal to center it's self, before you tighten the bolts. I have an old VD hub I use to do the seal centering job but the actual dampener also works. DD

I'm not sure I fully understand how you "degree in" the cam. I had just assumed you need to have the two timing marks across from one another on the cam and crank gears when you put on the timing chain. I would think you could advance the valve timing by maybe one tooth or so and be OK, but perhaps that is not what you're really suggesting here. Thanks for the tips. |

Here are a couple of explanations for degreeing cams: http://www.cranecams.com/?show=article&id=3 http://www.hotrodder.com/kwkride/degree.html Danny |
