Well I put the head on the block. I hand tightened the head bolts. I put the chain and sprocket back on the camshaft. Then I went to take off the timing chain wedge and it broke. Needless to say I was pissed. Im pretty sure I know what I have to do but luck deserted me.
1. Since I didn't torque the head bolts I can still use head gasket?
2. I have to take the front end of the motor off. Distributor, water pump, oil pump, alternator
3 I also have to take off the oil pan to make sure no debris fell in
4 I can keep the head on with the timing chain and jus remove the wege and dbeis
5 Is there a way to judge if there is too much slop in the chain? And since the timing chain is on the cam sprocket do I have to tie bak the chain tensioner?
6 Thank you for letting me ask my dumb questions. Im still upset at my motor.
Thanks and sorry for the rant
