Ok guys, I need some serious assistance here. I heard the timing chain rattling under my valve cover today, so I popped it off to check it out. The chain is loose so I know I need to get it replaced. The valve cover gasket was soft still, so I just reused it and reattached the valve cover. I tighten it down and start up the car and now it is running absolutely horribly! The engine is shaking like crazy at idle and im getting a puhh puhh puhh sound coming from the exhaust. Sounds like total shit when I rev it too. Please guys, I need help! This is my daily driver and I read that removing the valve cover was no big deal. Well it really fucked me over! Please respond! This is an 89 sohc btw.
