bits of black plastic in oil filter

[thstone]

Is the black stuff hard/plastic or soft/rubbery? Someone may have used black sealant on the oil pan instead of the factory brown or aftermarket grey stuff.

No, no. Hard plastic, tiny. All indications are chain guides, especially given the mileage. Shopping for an engine stand now, suggestions?

You are right you have chain rails wearing. Purchase a cam timing tool set. I also suggest buy a service manual set that covers cam replacement, engine timing, and bolt torquing procedures. You should be able to find one online in a PDF.

Oh, I got all that, Bentley manual and the Dempsey 101 projects book. Looking a timing set from rpc? For around 100 bucks, it looks like it’ll do the trick, I have a link to it in one of my other posts.

RPD is the brand, is it worthwhile?
