so i have three vz's that i plan to do up over the next 3 years and i want to do the timing chains on my self primarily because i dont trust mechanics to do a decent job.
i also want to replace the oil pumps while i am in there. but before i get started, i would like to clarify two things.
1, what timing chain kits to buy? there seem to be kits on ebay going for between $160 - $1000. some have roller chains and toothed chains...
which ones are the quality ones that i should use and which ones should i avoid?
2, i have not been able to find any information about oil pump replacement... apparently they need to be installed and torqued correctly or they can fail?
and while doing my oil pump, is it possible to back flush the oil pick up line (from the pump) ? without having to remove the sump?
i have been scouring the net for weeks and the only videos or information are from guys with less than credible work standards.
this is the video i plan to follow when doing my chains,
will all kits be the same for my 3 cars? i have
