The radiator in my 1985 Itasca 22 Sunflyer (454) had a nice seep along the side of the core, so out it comes and now I'm staring at a water pump, belts, hoses, air pump that needs to go away, fuel pump probably could use replacement after almost 30 years and while I'm at it, why not the timing chain?

I log on to Rock Auto and see there is a choice of 50 link or 66 link (and a strange 68 link?) chain. Which is my Itasca likely to have - anyone know?

I think finding your engine code on the block should help with the chain issue..

Buy a 454 set with both gears and the chain. No plastic top gear. Link count not important

Thanks for the idea Motorpro, I can get a complete Sealed Power set including gaskets for $60.
