They say timing is everything.
But it’s particularly important when building your engine. Watch this Summit Racing Quick Flicks video and learn how to install a timing chain and gear set. In this video, the crew at Summit Racing is using a small-block Chevy, but know that a timing set installation in a small-block Ford is a nearly identical process.
Be sure to check out this post to learn how to choose the right timing set for your vehicle.
Aloha from Hawaii,
My name is Ryne Terao and I’m the new auto shop teacher @ Kapaa High School. I the “quick flicks” videos you have set up on your web site to enhance some of my lectures for my syudents. Do you work with other high schools to support education? In the state of Hawaii, I would need written permission to use your videos in my class. Can you find out from management if its okay to use your information video and send me an email so I have a record that you have given me permission to use your “How to” videos. My email is: ryne_terao@notes.k12.hi.us
Mahalo (thank you) for supporting education.

Hi, just came across your video. I have a question on cam timing. I did a rebuild on my ‘96 vette with a LT4. The engine “seems” to pull strong on WOT but it is tripping a random misfire (P0300) while daily driving. During the rebuild I did replace the cam with a GM Hot Cam as the factory cam was junk and is not available.
My question is, if I missed the cam timing by 1 tooth would the engine run fairly well. The only concerns that would indicate a problem are;
1. Random misfire
2. Low intake manifold vacuum (12” at idle)
3. Questionable performance
Thanks for the time,
Jim Meyer
Why can’t I find the video
Hey Joseph, good catch – something went awry in our video embed, but we’ve got it fixed. This should be the correct video now. Appreciate the heads up!
