Look I know I'm banned and all, but I would really like some opinions.
I bought a used engine from a seems pretty legit guy that sold me an engine and trans with a written bill of sale with 30 guarantee from purchase date. I have replaced front and rear seals, ready to put it in. My dad is spooked from the last engine that jumped timing, and tears off the valve cover and front covers and recommends we replace the timing chain on this one. I disagreed that it may not be necessary if he claimed the car didn't knock or tick(which words mean nothing). But we hadn't even heard the engine ourselves, and by taking the time and disturbing the previous known condition of the engine, we will loose the warranty, and possibly make things worse if done incorrectly. The cams, rods, crank, all looks to be extremely clean gunk free and I can tell its hasnt been worked on much beside the knock sensor being unplugged. It even had an OEM T-stat in it.
I can not make a new thread with a pole, but I'd like to hear any ides.
