Right on brother great video as well. I Have a 95 Chevy S-10 2.2 L liter love the truck and now that I watch your video I feel that I can put my timing chain on with conference
I’ll add some tips from doing this. I used a crank sprocket pulley to get the crank sprocket off, made it a piece of cake. I used a large socket and a mallet to get it back on. I had to weld a nut to one of those bottom studs to get it out. The other one wasn’t rusty and took a E4 bit to remove. When putting the sprockets and chains back on I counted each link on the chain and each tooth on the sprocket to line it up. My chain had a black link to act as a timing mark. I divided the number of chain linked and added a second black link with sharpie at the opposite end of the chain, the new mark was a “half link” if you will. What I did was count each tooth and mark the top most tooth in the cam sprocket and the bottom most tooth on the crank. I lined the black link on bottom and black link on top with the marks on sprocket ensuring that i did not skip a tooth basically using simple math, took only a min and was for peace of mind. Got two quotes for the only shops who would agree to even do it. They wanted 1500-2000$ and claimed 11 hours of shop time… I’ll add this did not exactly fix the noise I was trying to solve which I think resides in the tranny. However my tensioner guide was brittle and snapped when I removed it so it was due. The parts fell In the oil pan and I had to use a coat hanger to get it out. I used blue locktite on the cam sprocket bolt. I installed a new clutch on the fan while I was doing this work. Another thing I learned doing this, when the timing marks are lined up it’s actually tdc for exhaust stoke. When the cam is 12 o’clock and crank is 12 o’clock that’s when tdc for compression happens. I figured that out using a ballon and compression test kit. Took the gage off and put ballon on. Watch d it fill up. Maybe that’s obvious to someone else but iv never done this and expected tdc for compression when the marks faced each other.
Just finished mine after cracking the cover and braking a tensioner bolt but got everything welded and replaced good as new but I don’t recommend doing this if your not very handy with working on cars this isn’t very easy and absolutely do not crack the timing cover it is literally impossible to find or buy anywhere literally no one carries it
Got the same job going had a horrendous sound start pulling in from work one day, parked it and did some research i suspected the timing chain so i took the cover off amd the tensioner was broke what looks like one solid peice. My question is how do i know if its jumped time and or bent valves if so how do i set it on installation
If the chain didn't break you are probably ok with it not jumping time. If you have any bent valves it would make a really loud pecking on the upper part of the head. Just make sure the dot on the crankshaft and the hole on the cam gear are in line with the new chain and tensioner and you will be fine, I how this helps and thanks for watching.

Great video! More S10 videos please :D
Great video man.
Appreciate it!
For the fan clutch for my 2003 Chevy s-10 I had to get a big crescent wrench and put a ratchet strap on the wrench and hold the cheater bar
That thing is a booger if it's never been off before, for sure
Professional doesn’t help me this does thanks
a follow up video Coming ?
I can make one if you want it
When in doubt drink a beer lol, you'll get it done sooner or later
Got a band aid on top of my right hand as a result of Mr. Clutch fan atm…. 😆
A clutch fan tool definitely helps.

Try changing an engine swap in a miata that's tight lol

How'd you get the oil orrifice plug out? Im having a time @deckerdoesitdiy
@deckerdoesitdiy completed the job fairly smoothly thank you for the video going for a fresh battery today for start up
That stupid “drip plug” getting wise fast….
33:51 Tool Gravity
That go kart could use some new rubber….js
Yeah my son has smoked the skins om those go kart tires
Why you look like you about to cry? love anyone whos working on a vehicle in their yard like 70% of men do.
70% in Rural Areas I may add.
He looks like that cuz it’s the second time he’s had to do this chain
I don't know maybe I'm just ugly like that. It's a face only a mother could love I guess lol
