Re: help
I would remove the side timing cover, turn the engine over with the starter , with the spark plugs removed. Watch the teeth on the timing gear when it turns. I figure that some teeth will be damaged and missing.. There are two 5/8 bolts on the side and one under the edge of the oil pan, that a 1/2 inch socket will fit. If you are careful the side timing cover can be removed without damage to the oil pan gasket. When the timing gear starts to fail, it will buck and knock and won't run good at all. The cam turns the oil pump, if the cam gear is striping and skiping the oil pump can't function at an optimum level.
