Thanks Bill. I have purchased Cloyes chains in the past. Good product.
I took the front of the motor apart this am, and the timing chain looks EXACTLY like it did when I had the front cover off this spring. There is about 1/2" of play at midpoint, but there is NO WAY it could have jumped a tooth.
I see the dot on the cam sprocket, but there are some (what appears to be) letters on the crank gear that could indicate TDC. I hope I am reading it correctly, but they still line up with each other.
I will replace the chain because it is apart, but I seriously doubt this is the trouble.
Is there supposed to be an oil slinger on the crank or cam somewhere? I don't see it anywhere.
