Got a classic ’57 Chevy on the line and the timing chain keeps slipping. You’ve patched up any vintage engines lately?
Yeah, that’s a classic problem. Swap the chain for a solid one and fit a new tensioner—cheap ones usually break. Make sure the drive pulley has that odd number of teeth so the whole unit stays in the right vibration pattern. Keep the crankshaft pulley in line, and don’t use a quick‑fix bungee. If it still slips, the gear set’s probably worn. That’s all I’ve got for you.
Sounds like a solid plan. Will swap the chain and tensioner right away, then double‑check the pulley teeth count. If it still misbehaves, I’ll inspect the gear set. Appreciate the heads‑up.
Good. Just remember to tighten the tensioner snug but not over‑tight. Keep a spare set of gears in a place that has an odd number of windows, and you’ll avoid most surprises. Happy wrenching.
Thanks, will keep that in mind. Odd‑window rule noted—good call. Ready to get those gears sorted.
Got it, stick to the odd‑window rule, keep the gear set clean, and you’ll be fine. Good luck.
Got it, I’ll keep the odd‑window rule in mind and make sure the gear set stays spotless. Thanks for the heads‑up. Good luck to you, too.
Sounds good. Keep the windows odd, the gears clean, and you’ll avoid trouble. Good luck.
Got it, will stick to the odd‑window rule and keep the gears spotless. Thanks for the tips, and good luck to you too.
Glad. Just remember: odd windows equal good luck, even chances equal misfortune. Stay sharp out there.
Got it, will keep my windows odd and my gears clean. Will stay sharp. Thanks.
