So, as I continue the ripping the engine apart, I tried to think of what I needed to do as I took the different sub assembly’s apart. Up front we have the timing chain and tensioner, the front crank bearing, the sprockets, and various seals and gaskets. As long as I am in there, it is all getting replaced.

The chain has to be cut off, it has no master link, then the crank sprocket and bearing can be pulled.

Godd think I planned on doing this, the sloppy chain was hitting this boss on the cover and eating away at it.
