Hi, before this engine was taken out there was a loud rattling which we thought was the timing chain, but ive takne the cover off and it all looks perfect. The timing chain is as old as the engine, about 3000-4000 miles or whatever it is, and its a dual type one.

some of the teeth on the big sprocket look very worn, especially the ones in the 6 and 7 o clock position

Just wondering right, is there any way at all, that the timing chain can ever turn backwards...?

Only thing I can immediately see is the oil flinger is on back-to-front - and looks like it's been contacting something?

This is a mini forum, not a gaylord forum!!  Too bloomin right... I was hapy to help you before... But now I've found out you're a puddle jumper, you can forget it! Ok - the round 'disc' that is between the chain and the woodruff key on the crank is called an oil flinger;it's purpose is to 'fling' oil away from itself - usually to lubricate other areas - eg the chain... And it looks to be on back to front? and looks shiny around the 'outer' face like it's been rubbing on something (the timing cover)? Edited by turbodave16v on 4th Apr, 2006.

The oil flinger usually has an F stamped in. This does not mean France, it means Front! On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |
