Reusing stretched timing set....?

That's why I'm thinking of installing the crank sprocket with 4* advance to make up for the slack... If this was a performance engine I would totally go with new everything but I feel like unless the chain is going to stretch even more a significant amount or break something, it will be good enough....???

I'd also much rather not have to wait an additional 3-5 days to get this thing back on the road, it's already all apart.

Then there's the fact that basically all new timing sets get loose over time anyway, the better ones just don't loosen as much as quickly as the cheap ones.
True.... You could advance it four degrees, and throw the the tensioner in it, that would be better than nothing, Khalid....
