75,000 would have been a better time to change that chain. I would be
willing to bet that you will find little pieces of plastic blocking
the oil pump pick-up screen.
Not enough?
If you pull one of the heads off you will find evadence that the
valves are just missing a colision with the piston as in marks in the
carbon.
Still not enough??
Your timming, as in camshaft to crankshaft is so bad that you have lost 50 HP.
Get busy. No need to pull the radiator, just the shroud (good time to
split it) and front end of the engine junk. (You wanted to powder coat
those brackets any way.)
Its winter, get to work!! <VBG>..............Terry

Were there any plastic sprockets used in these models? Should I change my chain now? I've got the heads off, so now is as good a time to do it as any. I just need the ambition....:-). I assume I have to jack up the engine to remove the front engine mount.
