G'day,
The precursor for this story is that I have 4 toyota trucks in the yard, 3 of which are going onto the operating table this winter. 1 nissan to do as well, so time is of the essence.
I'm doing the timing chain job on one now, did it last winter so it is going well. I'm trying to save time and cut corners as I want these trucks running, inspectable and out of the dooryard.
I can't see any problem with leaving the timing chain guides that have broken up and fallen into the oil pan alone. They have been there a while now without causing a problem, the screen on the oil intake is far from the bottom of the pan where the parts sit and I can't imagine how they may jump up out of there.
Anyone else out there stupid enough to consider this as an option? I just thought of it and figured I'd pass it by you guys.
I want to enjoy my winter somewhat and I've got a shitload of work to do to get these rigs out of here and it pains me to see them rust.
Thanks,
Pete
