GAN 340J 1971 series 2 V8

Had a play for an hour this afternoon.

Luck was on my side with timing cover - removed without a problem & no snapped bolts.

Timing chain has about 18mm deflection on one side - I guess it's the nylon teeth that mask any rattling you would expect when stretched this much.

Mark.

No steps or scoring at all and light carbon on piston crowns only.F3B0FFF8-21CC-486D-BB80-EC727DC6C08A.jpegStarted to clean up valley.

Lifters slide out easily by hand.

Only down side so far is several rocker arms have deepish wear indents where valve stem contacts.
