Timing Chain Stretch
For more info about this pic:
http://www.gamefishin.com/gfboard/forum_posts.asp?TID=27394&PID=416621#416621This is what happens when you just let one GO-o-o-o... To check it (or timing gear slop) without much disassembly, remove the distributor cap, rotate the engine forward using a socket on the crank bolt (inside the harmonic balancer pulley) and a breaker bar until the timing mark aligns with 0 degrees (TDC). Then carefully rotate it backward JUST until the rotor moves, and read the degrees from the scale.
