what is a list of parts you need to replace timing chains on a 1999 Dodge Intrepid 2.7?

Answer 1

You will need the primary timing chain, two secondary chains, a gasket set, and a water pump. You might also end up replacing the sprockets. The cost is probably going to set you back at least $400 to $500 in repairs. This is not a fun job either. Get a manual to see what you're really going to be up against. This involves taking off a lot of parts, including the intake manifold, valve covers and timing cover. I would replace the water pump while you're in there as this part could wreck your new timing chain if it seizes.

Answer 2

Sorry but I have to ask why do you feel the timing chains are bad. I Would do this if the TIMING BELT was old but not the chains, There is no recomended replacement window for them. any vehicle under 200K sould not need a timing chain replacment. Now there are multitudes of other issues with the 2.7 like seizing due to sludge bulid up on the rings. If you have a misfire or low power I would look there. I have never replace the chain set on a 2.7 before it died.

Answer 3

John K. is correct except the Timing Set for the '99 Dodge 2.7L is "only" $405.

Answer 4

OUCH
YOU PICKED ONE OF THE WORST SET UPS ($ WISE) OF ANY DOMESTIC CAR
THE 2.7 HAS 3 TIMING CHAINS WITH CORRESPONDING SPROCKETS, GUIDES AND TENSIONERS
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET A COMPLETE KIT FOR AROUND 500 BUCKS (AS OPPOSED TO $25 FOR A 5.7 CHEVY )

Answer 5

all you have to do is go to the parts store. tell them you need a timing chain replacement kit for your make and model,
