Re: Snapped Timing Chain (UPDATE)

Took the engine apart, including splitting the cases, found all the broken parts. Put new piston/rings (stock) honed the cylinder - compression 160 lbs. Cleaned and lapped the valves. New gaskets. Got new and used parts $270 - all from fleabay - cheaper than the dealer. Cam chain tensioner is ok. I suspect the engine was red lined too much !!! Looking for a valve cover as this one is leaking - crack JB welded but not holding.

The hardest part was waiting for parts to come in the mail!!



Used cam with gear $75
Used oil pump with gear $35
new timing chain $ 40
new head and base gasket $35
New piston/rings $85
re-used engine cover gaskets (used "The Right Stuff" gasket sealant"- this sealant is amazing)
