How many links on chain for Navigator 300 ? - Trek Navigator 300

The timing is set by aligning the marks on the camshaft gears and the crankshaft gear with colored links on the chain. See the included link for guidance (it's for a Sebring, but the information is the same for an Intrepid). Be aware that rotating the engine after initial timing will change the relationship of the colored links with the gears. This is OK, just BE SURE THAT THEY ARE ALIGNED when the chain is INITIALLY installed. Chrysler Sebring Concorde 300 2 7L timing replacement Cloyes kit 9 0397SA

Impossible. This is a dual cam engine. There is a camshaft in each cylinder head. The head cannot be removed without removing the timing chain.

The 5.7L Hemi is definitely a chain drive.

Lefty loosey, righty tighty. Counter clockwise. Also, check to see if the bolt is rusty because it may be seized. Some penetrating oil can help in this instance.

My profecional openion is around every 100,000 miles. Those could run life of vehicle but its truly unknown. Not worth ruining a good vehicle due to a few minor maintaince updates.

Honestly,if you have to ask you probably shoukldnt be doing it yourself.

Good luck

The rear hub, where the rear axle goes thru, is an eccentric adjuster. You have to loosen up the pinchbolts and rotate it to adjust the chain. You might also have to loosen up the bracket for the brake. Usually when you have to cut out links it is because the chain is worn out and needs to be replaced.

If it has not broken or jumped timing you simply remove the valve cover and timing chain tennsioner. Then cut a link out of the old chain on top of the cam gear, then you attach the new chain with the supplied master link and slowly rotate the engine until the old chain has run out and the new chain is in it's place. It's best to have a helper to rotate so you can hold the chain against the cam gear. Once this is done recheck the can timing and do not let the chain slip or you will have to pull the injection pump and retime it. Even if you do it's easier than removing the front cover! Good luck!
