You need at least a timing set! The chain should not have any slack in it. I bet it was noisy.

Actually the front guide and bolt were in good shape. The bolt was just slightly bent but, will be replaced with the dorman bolt. Now I wish I would of done more research on the water pump...holy spickoly :)

At least you caught this before it jumped time. Good luck and dont forget to reactivate the tensioner. There are two versions, the newer having a dome in the middle of the bolt head.

The "new" version is the one that comes on VVT engines.

Good luck, bro! This is why I don't have a nice thing to play with any more. Timing chain jumped 2 links, and grenaded the engine. Apparently, the LNF can jump one and still run at a degraded level.
