Re: timing chain broke AGAIN

Take a close look at the chain and gears to see if they can tell you anything , are any other links about to break , are the gear teeth wearing evenly? I know with broken parts it may be hard to tell ... but a part that has been running abnormally for awhile will look different then a part that broke suddenly, any chance of the cam walking too much

You'd blow the oil filter before anything like that would happen

That was my 1st thought, I almost did that with my 97 when I installed the Cloyes chain, without the CPS reluctor ring on there the Cloyes crank gear wont seat as far.
