Oil sump removed… and inside? Pieces of timing chain guides, plastic debris, and some unidentified “premium engine seasoning.” The customer said: “It was only making a noise…”

Checking timing on locking tools — and yep, the timing was way out. Chain skipped enough to make the engine timing look completely drunk.

More inspection, more bad news. The tensioner fought bravely until the very end, but physics always wins. At this point the real question was not if it skipped… but how much damage it caused.

Finally, progress. New parts fitted, timing carefully reset and aligned properly. Slowly turning chaos back into an engine again.

Job nearly complete — timing set correctly, engine back in sync, and no longer sounding like a toolbox in a washing machine 😎
