4 Wheel Drive/SUVs: Timing chain for a 74 jeep cj5, cj5 jeep, jeep cj5

Question
I was wondering if you could help explain how to set a timing chain for a 74 cj5 jeep. I'm not sure if I am doing it right. Thanks for your help

Answer
Raymond,

The simplest way for you to do this accurately, would be to purchase a repair manual.  Rather than have me explain verbally, the manual has step by step instructions, along with pictures of the repair.

You can purchase a manufacturer's shop manual for the Jeep, but they are quite expensive, normally costing, around $100.  A Chilton's or a Hayne's manual can be purchased at most auto parts stores for $20, and they have a lot of information on basic trouble shooting, and repairs.  These manuals are designed for a year or range of years for specific vehicles, and are invaluable if you are planning on doing any repairs yourself.
