Got all of that Don . Only problem is my chains don't line up I'm thinking the crank has to be move to set the chains . But nobody explains the procedure!

Default 5.7

Mario ... my mechanic just rebuilt on of these and its a HUGE PITA

FYI ... One thing to know, I believe he said (found out after) there is a specific order/sequence that the rods go in or the crank will NOT turn freely

I can ask him about the chains

I've done lots of those, used to remove those cam gears with the timing covers on but hard to explain with just words, the left and right bank cam gears are the same but each side uses different marks. You also gotta push the hydraulic tensioner back and put a pin in it to hold it retracted, this gives you enough slack in the chain to get it on, once the chain is on you pull the pin on the tensioner.

The cams sit in a kind of relaxed state when in the right place, then the crank has to be obviously in the proper relation to them to put the chain on, so you might have to rotate the crank some. Just be careful, you don't want a piston to hit an open valve (duh!). Can you post any pics of its current state?

I think I figured it out but I'm still not 100% sure I got it right I'll put up some picks . Thank you! I offered a Toyota Mechanic $200 to stop over to see If I have it right . Never happened
