Timing was right on the money. I put stethoscope on timing chain cover and a lot of noise was coming from behind it. I pulled cover off and chain guide for oil pump chain bolt was broke. And "silent shaft" on driver side has alot of play in it, i could wiggle shaft and recreate the sound as if motor was running... i pulled shaft out and appears it has been heated up and some pitting on the backside of shaft.it seemed to me as if bearing race was worn... Now do i replace bearings and races and drill and tap broken bolt out. Or is there a elimination kit for this "silent shaft"....
