    Chased all the threads. Brass brushed the mating surface. Cam bolt and thrust bearing bolts will be here tomorrow. Let the reassembly commence.

    NO! I figured that much out. The manual fuel pump thing looks like a full cup. that requires a longer dowel

    Nevermind. I'm an idiot. It just looks eccentric because of the way it's machined. But the question still stands if I need this add'l washer with the bend in it.

    OK. So I can't find any info on this here or the web in general. This thing was on the front of the cam sprocket: It has a tab that locates it in the dowel hole. Also the rotation axis of the sprocket that was on there is eccentric. The new one is not: What does that mean to me at this...

    I bought a new bolt, but do I reuse this little bracket on the cam sprocket? Or no since the new :poo: is balanced? Also, on a stockish engine, any reason to alter the timing at the crank?

    Should have the welder in the garage tomorrow. Orders from LMR and Summit as well. Provided I can get that **** out, should be able to reassemble the front of the engine this weekend.

    You're not wrong. But this one was one of the OE bolts that I reused. Wish me luck.

    Drove a nut on. Gonna pick up the welder from my buddies this weekend and see if I can get that bitch out. I figure to weld the nut on, heat the side of the block where the threads are with a torch and go nice and slow. I remember something being wrong the last time I changed the water pump. I...

    :leghump:. I just realized that one of the water pump bolts is broken off in the block. There's enough sticking out to weld a nut to and get a torch to see if I can remove it.

    Also, good thing I pulled it all off. Found that one water pump bolt was completely missing and another didn't have any threads on it. Good thing timing covers are cheap.

    Timing chain was a good call. There's definitely some slop in this one. On the upside, as I tore into it there is zero evidence of head gasket issues. All the coolant was perfectly green aside from some sediment at the bottom of the radiator.
