Shoot those gears and chain look like they have 300K Miles on them and ran through a Mud pit too. That is probably one of the worst stretched out chains I have ever seen. Surely get a new timing set.
There is tons of slop in the chain. Unfortunately, this was once a little old lady's car. After she died, a 16 year old kid got ahold of it and ran it too hard. The father tore the motor down to replace the chain, after he heard it making tons of noise. They never finished the project and then I purchased it.
I'm not sure how many miles are on the motor, but I'm darn sure the kid beat the heck out of it. I just hope to put the kit on there and see if the motor has any life left in it.
You guys skeeeeeered me. I'm going to wait for the local help. Paying someone will save me a ton of heartache.
