Above, is a pic of one of my guides. As you can see, it has broken in half!
Below, is the same guide, placed back together, to show a chunk from the center is missing (in the sump!) So that's another thing to think about too. You will probably have to remove the sump to get all the broken pieces out of it, so they don't block the oil pump pickup.......
And last of all...... this is all that remained of the other slack side guide....Now, look at the size of the first guide... you can see the 2 tabs standing up, where the bolts go thru to hold them in place.....
That's what this is... one of those tabs... the rest of the guide? you guessed it, chewed up by the oil pump chain until the chunks were small enough to drop into the gap at the front, into the sump...
Please hear me when i say, get onto this job as soon as you can. It wif either chain jumps a couple of cam teeth because it's flopping around inside your engine, it will cause the cam timing to be out.... your valves will still be sticking out when the pistons hit TDC....... then you can guess what happens then....
