Lol I guess our SR20 motors are tough cookies. I find it unbelievable that the timing chain didn't skip a tooth or break or even show signs of wear. You can even see where the wood is worn in a perfect line in the middle, where it was riding the timing chain. Kinda like a chain-saw.

Oh, so you guys recognize these pieces. Yes, they are part of a rare JDM tensioner kit. Made in the top-secret Nissan proving grounds up in the Japanese mountains!
I am considering selling the kit for $100. Easy to use and when you are done swapping your cams you can store the kit in your cylinder head for safe-keeping so you don't lose it!

Looks like pine, smells like Mobil. Might have it bronzed and hang it from my rear-view mirror.

Very cryptic. So much so that I don't get it.

Lol. I was definitely expecting some sludge with the way it was running. Let's just say I invented a few never before heard expletives when I opened her up and saw that.
