[QUOTE="ajaf1656, post: 16560635, member: 196707"] Well, I got the Bullitt motor on an engine stand and tore into it today. Oil pickup all gummed up and some metal shavings... [ATTACH=full]1683897[/ATTACH] I also started finding chunks of plastic from the chain guides everywhere. When I pulled the timing cover, the passenger side fixed chain guide was completely gone. There wasn't anything left on the block but the bolts. The pivoting chain guide and tensioner were pretty bad. The tensioner was ground down... [ATTACH=full]1683898[/ATTACH] The remaining chain guide worn all the way through the plastic and a lot of the metal... [ATTACH=full]1683899[/ATTACH] The trigger wheel was also marred up but the teeth looked undamaged. I pulled the heads and didn't see any damage to the valves or pistons, so I'm thinking the chain never skipped on the sprockets. I'm not sure how much damage I didn't detect on first look, but the metal shavings all seem to be from the tensioner and chain guide. [/QUOTE]
