After a lot of help and advice from members here (thank you everyone), I am going to do some to me major repair work on my '06 Chrysler 300C with the 5.7L. It has a small coolant seepage from the timing cover and the radiator cracked. So I am going to replace the radiator and reseal the timing cover. Since I am removing the water pump, replace that too. My next question is since I will be staring right at the timing chain and my car has 170k miles on it, should I replace the chain too? The only issue is the oil pump is in the way and I think i need to fully remove the oil pan to do this.. Anyone replace the timing set on a HEMI without dropping the pan? Or since it is not causing any problems, just reseal the cover and forget about it?
Thanks.
Thanks.
