Run it till it breaks, then atleast put a 5.3 in it.

lol, lets keep the single-cam bashing to a minimum. Trying to not have too much down time and having expenses on the low as well... Going to rip that valve cover off now.

Last pic is of 2 plastic-like pieces I found in there... Leaving to work now, but chain looked fine, and I looked down into the cover and the guides were there as well.. Maybe seized lifters? [Not enough time to work on it atm..]

Cranked the engine with the valve cover off... and its the left guide that is making the racket--it would explain the pieces of plastic as well. I should *probably* replace all of that stuff, eh? However, my final questions are:

1. How long can I run it like this? and if I do..
2. Will I pass tech on Saturday with this?
3. Would I have to tow my ass home if I do run it on saturday? lol... :ugh: [hate downtime/not driving/had fun last event]

No worries, I have my swap on the way.
 
Lets put it like this left guide is the tensioner if theres no tension you can possibly jump teeth or break the chain throwing the head out of time with the block causing kapoodiiii dont slide it, if you have to, drive it but have AAA # at hand
 
Yeh its pretty dangerous and little mishap and the chain goes off and there goes your timing and it can fuck up the motor. and thats a mission to change u have to take off the whole front distribution.
