Re: help after cam install
That was a semi reassembled picture. Idler went on after the cover. However if you pull just the pulley and look at where the 4th WP bolt is..you can use a grinder to made an access rounded area so that you don't have to pul the entire idler standoff piece. makes it easier/harder depending on what your doing. I'd sugget you pull the pulley and stand off.

Re: help after cam install
Where did that cam gear come from?
All we can see in that picture is the insane amount of flash from your camera. Try a droplight and turning the flash off.
Meanwhile if you say that the crank gear appears worn... how does it look when you turn the motor? Any binding, noise or anything like that? Put the dampener back on and see what happenes. There has to be some chain movement w/o one. Why you took it off...I DUNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Re: help after cam install
for a moment I wondered if the cam gear was on backwards, but I confirmed it was installed properly.

Re: help after cam install
Also...turn that a few times and inspect both gears. I've heard of the crank gear cracking in some cases.

Re: help after cam install

Re: help after cam install
Wow.. I'm having trouble with restraint at the moment.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5...awwww f'it.
Bryant the top gear is the cam gear. You said crank gear aka the big flash of light at the bottom of your picture. It's tough to see crank gear wear while looking at the cam gear. The edges of the gears are bevelled to help the chain not wear. Again..like your sound, I see nothing out of place on the gear. Take measurements of the chain from the block at both cam and crank gears. Your measurements should be pretty close.
Want to know why your engine is tough to turn over????? Because the plugs are in and you are compressing the cylinders. Pull the plugs and you can turn it easily. The only thing giving any back pressure with the plugs out will be the springs.
You do work on cars for a living right?
