well along with my tuners instructions and the service manual a tct can be replaced without removing the cover so save all that time and labor by simply weighing your options, to each their own doh, it worked for me and it might for u to, we all work differently.
Ok thanks for the info. I need to replace my chain, guides, and TCT.Quote:

Did you need any special tools for the timing chain/tensioner job?
Nope basic flathead n prybarQuote:

once i figure out the solution to the problem i will be building me a new more aggressive splitter and who knows what else to come...
any more detailed pictures on your sheet metal work ?
non really didnt take much but itll be similar to what u did doh
Did the new tensioner not solve your problems? I am in the middle of changing my tension, chain, guides, etc... It is rough, but can definitely all be done with the motor in the car. I have everything in, just need an o-ring so I can put the chain case back on.
Well it was an issue but no.Quote:

Damn it skipped a couple teeth!
Awesome man glad to hear that its back. But quick question. I know you replaced your tensioner but do you think you should replace the chain too since it skipped a few teeth?

Well it skipped a whole tooth and im in the works for new tensioner, guides, chain, and bolt kit!!!

Rod bearings
Damn man. Sorry to hear that but you work quick I'm sure she'll be up again in a month or less. At least you got some fun out of it.
s4 IG-petefromthestreets
damn sucks man, good luck with the future build, im sure it will be better and badder.
Idk guys Idk.....
I'm in the balance of staying in or getting out..
I've been in your footsteps many times man. Ive had 2 built motors both took a shit on me 500 and 700 miles only on them. Hadn't even gotten to mess around and do any pulls. I say build you an engine put that HR timing chain tensioner on it and give it one more goQuote:

On a side note, i agree with what you said about we all have out limits, I only ever tell people in your situation one thing and that is make the car run again before you decide to get out of it. That way you never look back and say "damn I should have fixed it" so you know you got out of the game on a positive note. Just my .02 cents
i hear ya man
damn at this rate shit will be running in no timeQuote:

Are you going to pull it out the top I assume? What is your plan with the motor? Rebuild this one? Or put a new stock one in?
Day 2 of teardown
Looks like the block is still good and no bent valves!!!
