Guys I keep on reading about timming sets (timming chains) etc but this is simply mentioned when talking about replacing a cam.

My question is whats the maintnance schedual on this and does it need to be replaced on a basically stock hemi engin?

[yroger]

it a timing chaine it will last a long time you can put 350 000km before you need to change it it just get me loose but by not very much but if you change your cam do put a new one in and a oil pump to

Depends on how much you beat your engine. The 5.7 chain set and particularly the tensioner are prone to failure under extreme stress. There are quite a few people who have changed to the 6.1 setup.
Having said that, Yanick is right. They last a really long time if not beaten. Its not like the old days (60's) where 120 k miles meant a timing chain change.

hey guys I need a little help to chime in on something

my trinity is showing this morning some LT knock retard : 0.5 from 1500 to 1800 rpm light throtle 1 from 1800 to 2000 rpm and 1.5 from 2000 to 2300 rpm

my adjustements is -2 for the first fuel range and 0 for the other 2 at WOT which normaly works really really well and barely gives me any short term knock



temperature outside is rain + 18C but humide

[MikeGig]

well this morning clear skys and not so humide and once the car warmed up to about 204 the knock started again so went from 2 deg lean to 5 deg rich and see what that does on the way home

I'll log my full ride home since I hit different situations (traffic/50 zones/100 zones hills etc.) and see what is going on.

does anyone here have a formula that could help me out or a way to proceed to slowly dial this in ?

[MikeGig]

5 rich still the ame knock same pressure on gas pedale same RPM's

10 rich still the same thing

any help or advice would be great guys

I wish I could help Mike but this is not my department. Have you tried DiabloSport forums or LXF's general forums?

[bee417]

Im with Eric on this one, I have never played with the tunes apart from the basic thermostat settings etc, I would ask the questions on the Diablo forum, Im sure somebody with the correct knowledge would lead you in the right direction
