So i put fresh KA in my s14 last week. and how i finally had a chance to take apart my old engine with 141k...i got to tell you i didnt expect to find this.
lower chain slack side guide is simply GONE. chain has just been bouncing on the pair of bolt that guide bolts on with. i am surprized that damn chain didng bust and i didnt exactly take it easy on this engine. ... 7k all day 12kmiles loing since i got it.
Then i looked at the pickup screen, i am surprised any oil was able to get thru it. I know alot of people here just take those top guides out and call it a day but after seeing this may want to think twice.
EDIT: i didnt make it clear but it was running strong when it removed it
