While in the process of replacing my damaged oil pan and RMS, I took the oppertunity to check things over. Jeep/Engine has 92k on it.
I poked at the timing chain and to my surprise, there is about 1/2" of play in it. While I've been around pushrod engines all my life, I've never changed the timing chain on one, but have done timing belts on an Isuzu truck and BMWs, in which the belts were rather snug.
I took a video of it I'll upload. I'm at the point of putting the new oil pan on, but thinking maybe to hold off in case the timing chain needs replacement.
