In this weeks video Budget Build Garage explains how to replace a timing chain on a big block chevy. Installing a timing chain usually requires a gear puller. In this video we use a snap-on gear puller to replace a timing chain, as well as a harbor freight gear puller. You’ll the learn the right way to use a gear puller, and which gear puller is the best to use from the harbor freight 4 piece puller set.

What are your thoughts on this big block engine? Are you a fan of the red?
Putting a barebones lunati cam in my 454 mark v. 476-501 lift. Supposed to be a stage 2 rv cam. All stock valve train. Ever run one before? Thanks
Any input on why some crank gears are marked in the valley of teeth, others are marked specifically on a tooth. Can anyone point me towards information on this phenomenon, the internet returns nothing no matter the keywords used
Awesome videos. Thank you for showing an up close detail. I noticed your block as the holes for a retaining plate. Have you considered a Gen VI step nosed roller cam? With the retaining plate you won't need to mess with the thrust button nonsense.
I would love to see you doing it inside the hood bro,,,
Of course there was a cam in it. Here's a lesson in listening to sellers. If he didn't say "a performance cam," all he was doing is telling you the bald truth.
Red and blue
I prefer not to beat the snot out of the gear, not good for bearings especially thrust bearing.
Good use of that tool, its worth it.
Do you have to take the oil pan off to replace the timing chain? Also, if the engine wasn't at top dead center when the distributor was removed could it cause problems? I'm doing these repairs on a motorhome with the engine in. Thanks and great job!
This guy is so unprepared and unprofessional for someone trying to teach. His gear removal and installation is an absolute Clumbsey mess.
Look elsewhere for good instruction.
