Yes, that's the issue. Do the timing components know and save yourself the expense of an engine. Once you do the timing stuff with the latest, greatest upgrades, these cars are a dream.

We sell the set of 4 for $285. I would recommend getting a second cam tool so you can do both sides at the same time and not switch the tool back and forth, but that will cost you another $95.

That kit is the four tools. The timing chain kit I can take $100 off and make it $650 and the valve cover gasket kit I can move to $60. You are looking at $995 for the parts and tools. I have it all in stock.
