Timing Chain...

Well, everything is in and running. We'll see how it goes this time, I'm not sure if I hear a small lifter or valve train noise but maybe I'm all paranoid now. Sound like the fuel rail/injectors clicking but else where. Hopefully I'm being paranoid, runs nice so I'll see what happens I guess...

I am not an engine expert, but could the oil pump or dizzy have seized, and stopped the Cam from turning long enough to trash the Cam teeth, then the dizzy teeth or oil pump shaft failed?

With the history on that engine now, I would hit the JY and get an old working Renix engine for $100!
