I bought a double chain and new gears. I also got the  Felpro Gasket kit that come with all the gaskets that Ill be needing. I am mechanically inclined so I think I can do this just need some one to tell me the basics. I also got a tube of RTV the black stuff but I heard you really have to let it dry for a while before starting. Im goin right now to get it a shot in my big shop I have at home. I love this house! Hollar if any one wants to give me a step by step. 828-403-8458 Chad.

pull off the accessories, you can actually leave the water pump attached to the front cover, pull off the harmonic balancer, pull the front cover, I like to line up the dots on the timing chain sprockets, then remove and reinstall the chain with the new sprockets lined up the same way.
