had to learn the hard way

[singleslammer251]

sooo my car ran fine for a month after a rebuild and just snapped its timing chain due to the drivers side guide plastic coming off and a link catching the edge of the metal part of the guide, DO NOT buy ebay rebuild kits , sigh. it all happened from hitting a man hole cover this car is starting to get extremely frustrating. in process of repairing, ordered a new kit from frsport.com. thinking about trading the p.o.s when repaired

Wow that sucks, good luck with the re-rebuild.

when you fix it you will be happy again

Yep - There's a LOT of satisfaction in doing it right the first time.

More time, more money, more work - But WAY less frustration.

i really appreciate all the support guys. i got the new timing kit today its osk brand made in japan looks way better quality than the ebay junk. i got it all together and accidentally set the timing opposite what i thought lol ill fix it tomorrow got the ole trusty service manual out.
