Reusing stretched timing set....?

True.... You could advance it four degrees, and throw the the tensioner in it, that would be better than nothing, Khalid....

Tim, I know it would be the "right" thing to do with all new parts but yeah... basically just want something that won't break apart and jump the chain like the factory nylon silent-chain setup. I had that happen on the 318 in my Duster a few months after I first got it, MAN that pi**ed me off lol. Nothing like stepping on the gas and hearing that awful sputter-clunk sound, then silence... followed by cranking that sounds like I lost all compression.
