Timing: Problem Fixed

At least, I hope it's fixed. : )

New chain adjustment cylinder installed, as is a new vibration damper and a new timing chain. The old chain appeared in good shape, but while the timing cover is off, it seemed good sense to renew as much as possible.

Below: the refurbished timing mechanism. All will be given a coating of oil before the cover goes back on. Note the large scratch on the chainwheel - from the previously broken parts?


The old vibration damper. A little worn, perhaps? : )

Next step will be to replace the crankshaft oil seal, sand the mating areas of the timing cover, prepare the seals, and then close everything back up.
