Interesting okay thank you so much I’m gonna swap the guide out and take some pictures gonna take a few days to get the all things required to pull the engine. I’ll send over a new message after and let you know how everything goes. Thank you for your help. Literally couldn’t have done it without your help. One last quick question. Any ideas why the front driver side wheel would be slanted inward at the top? I changed the hub but it didn’t seem to do the trick.

 

With The Car Jacked Up & Not By Front Suspension, Check For Looseness. Control Arm Wear or Accident at One Time Could Come into Play. Also See Upper Strut Mount.

Yea it was in an accident at one time.

 

Even tho it was in an accident I should be able to fix the wheel problem right?

 

An Good Alignment Shop May Be Able To Adjust Out. If Not a Body Shop May Need To Do a Slight Frame Pull To Straighten if Something is Bent Due To Hit.

A Kit Like This May Do The Trick!

Hey the timing chain guide/cassette broke so does that mean there’s damage to the engine.? Also the timing chain guide/cassette breaking would have to mean that the timing chain tensioner bolt failed right.? I havnt took everything apart looking for a bay to do my work in. I’m just seeking more answers while I’m waiting. Thanks for all your help man.

 

I Would Surmise if It Still Runs Good Just Noisy It is Still in Time. At Your Mileage i Would Say The Head Gasket Chain Vid is What Will Need To Be Done. All the Chains & Guides Are Due For Service! Really All I Can Do is Give An Opinion on What I Have Heard From Thread. With Info Available That's My Best Guess! Removing Oil Pan as Well & Fishing Out Any Garbage Would Be a Good Idea as Well!

The List of Things That Could Be Done at This Point Can Grow & Grow! Where Do You Want To Be In Car! Ultimately Would It Be Better To Move Forward To a V8 Car Now Vs Later as Your Earlier Comments Don't Lead Me To Believe You Are Going To Be Happy With The V6. It Will Be Far Easier To Move on While It Still Moves on it's Own Power Vs Tore Down & Then Deciding To Move On!

The Op Has Not Been Back in Since April of Last Year. Doubtful if You Get a Response But It Would Be Interesting To Know!

Did Find Another Good Vid For This Thread!
