Replying to: gonogo (May 25, 2007 7:54 am) Thanks for the reply but as it turns out it wasn't the timing chain at all, but the starter. The first mechanic was trying to rip me off, big time. I had it towed to the dealer and after they blow compressed air through the spark plug holes, oked them to replace the chain. They remove the gasket and get to the timing chain and find the chain is neither broken or loose. They then discover that all I need is a starter.
