• Q: How to Install a Timing Chain and Its Components on 2007 Chrysler Pacifica?

  A: Removing the crankshaft oil seal is necessary before you can install the timing chain, so the oil pump does not get damaged. Thoroughly clean the parts where the chain case cover and cylinder block come together, then place a new gasket on the timing cover, so its entire lower edge is past the cover's edge without using any sealant. With the oil pump drive flats facing up, set the oil pump inner rotor to match the crankshaft drive flats, so it engages properly and no major damage happens. After putting in the timing cover, fasten it with timing chain cover bolts, turning M8 bolts to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.) and M10 bolts to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.). The next steps are to fit the front crankshaft oil seal, crankshaft vibration damper and coolant cross over pipe, then followed by the A/C compressor. Install the power steering line hold downs at the cradle and A/C bracket and next join the coolant hoses to the coolant cross over pipe. Once gathered, fit the inner fender splash shield, then add the oil pump pick-up tube, tightening its bolt to 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.). Finally, install the oil pan and now move on to lowering your vehicle. After that, fit the water pump and pulley, as well as the camshaft position and A/C electrical sensors, then add the suction and discharge hoses, as well as the oil level indicator tube, generator, power steering pump, idler pulley and accessory drive belt. Lastly, place the upper engine mount in position, add engine oil to the crankcase, top up the cooling system, let out the charged A/C, check and top up all fluid levels and attach the negative battery cable.
