The number that is still pictured is the "front end" number, i think it was supposed to be for the factory to record which front end (built separately to the main body) went with which chassis/vin number in their records.

I am sure someone will correct me if i am wrong!

Who said What records ? of course they kept records of everything they did!

that's a duplex timing chain kit

[yeti21586]

so is that standard or not?

[danrock101]

nope that's not standard, standard timing chains are single row

[yeti21586]

i like finding out things like that lol cheers

i was going to up rate the timing chain but maybe i wont then lol

[danrock101]

apparntly there are a few engine that come with duplex timing kits, looking at yours it isn't lightend and it's rusted anyway, plus they get worn and stretch and alsorts for the price you might aswell get a new kit for the sake of 30/40 squid

[yeti21586]

yeah i was thinking about buying one of the lightened ones floating about on ebay
