So I bought an 84 4runner and pretty sure it needs timing chain,

has a slight rattle in the front for about 1-3seconds. havent removed valve cover yet but...
heard about this company DOA Racing they're timing kit has steel guides and they're warrentied for the life of the engine no questions.

can anyone reccommend a good brand with steel guides this is my first time and a experienced friend is helping me but I wanna make this thing last for camping and 4x4ing.

thanks again.
im emailing/calling DOA as well.

also my Dad reccommended throwing in a new oil pump while ive got the front opened up anyone know a good brand, im not to sure about the melling from autozone personally.

 

Lots of info on this topic. Try searching a bit.

:wabbit2:

 

sounds good thanks.

I found out there was a certain casting on the drivers side on blocks that don't come with a dual chain but will fit, mine doesnt have the casting but it's not the original block so im taking the cover off this weekend and gonna order a water and oil pump in preperation for the timing chain.
