Pulled the Mess that was my Timing Chain....

Thank you so much for the options and the explanation of what happened. I feel like I can fix this and fix it good.


Out of the three options, is it worth pulling the cam? I just got this car three months ago and haven't tore into the engine much at all, so I really don't know the extent of the damage, so to speak. As what I've seen of just completely sloppy work (wiring mixed up, wrong torque on things, ect.), I wouldn't be entirely opposed to pulling it off and starting fresh. Then again, I'm not even in my own house, and it's sitting day after day in the school's shop and to get it running would be a giant relief.
