Thanks, I've always heard "sometimes even a blind hog finds an acorn". Glad you figured out what happened.
I do have a question, if the timing gears had stripped, does the 235 camshaft have a place notched out to allow the crankshaft to clear, or is that the 216, or am I dreaming? (Could be the latter, I've been known to do that.)
Seems to me I vaguely remember one or the other (or maybe both) had clearance issues with a crank weight and had a slight notch in the cam to allow the crank to clear it.
Tell me to go back to bed and wake up if I'm so far off the mark I can;t see the goal.
