Hi Is there someway to physically check a timing chain for wear.
Yes, at least on the diesels. You line up the marks on
the cam gear and the nearby tower, and read degrees of
stretch off the timing scale. 'Too much' is bad. 'Too
much' varies model to model.

This gets my vote. They aren't perfect, but they're as close to it as
anyone has come to making one, in my opinion anyway. SCs and Carreras of

If you know the exact pitch (original length of a link) of the chain,
you could place the old chain under tension and measure 100 links and
compare the distance to 100 x pitch.

Easy.
If you look closely at the headlight wiper where it is
mounted on the motor shaft, you'll notice that the
metal cover that matches the arm is hinged. If you
carefully pry the cover up, you'll find a 10mm nut on
the end of the motor shaft. Take the nut off and the
arm will come off, much

Depends to what quality level you want to go. I find, painting a part off a
car, (old paint going next to new) you will never get a perfect match and
you'll see it at 20 paces. I've had fenders painted on cars, and they
feather the paint in, and you can't tell. And I'm really really fussy.

Not to belittle the incident, but it is actually really weird to me that the
