xbeerd Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) so i just found out the H6 in theTribeca has timing chains, has anyone ever looked at swapping the timing chain gears etc to replace the belts? any thoughts on the idea (other than, its probably more work than its worth, LOL) Edited February 21, 2013 by xbeerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbeerd Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 eh, apparently i just missed the boat on the whole idea, and its been discussed before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 no point in looking into it, it's all but impossible and there are easy options to get a timing chain equipped engine/vehicle. oil pump, water pump, accessories, oil supply, everything would need modified, needs to be a sealed system, cams aren't offset on timing belt vehicles but they are on the timing chains due to it being one belt and two chains...there's like a hundred problems that need worked around. the easy way is to buy a car that already has one or install an H6 engine or the new 4 cylinder engines that have timing chains.

1 Lucky Texan Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 if I just wanted a 'fun project'/experiment, I'd build a 'big bang' motor instead of this mod. otherwise, engine swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
