Hey Bob....oh well, this was easier anyway.
Edelbrock and Cloyes (sp?), make a great double roller. I have 145k on my
98, but I am still not worrying about the timing chain. A friend of mine
told me that the 318 chain rarely if ever gives any troubles.

Subject: DML: Here we bond again...
Hey, DML!
Welp, just got done with another DAKSY bonding (bondage?) session...
This one was short & sweet, tho...
She now has a new (reman) alternator & serp belt...The squeal from the front
WAS
the sealed bearing in the alternator...
This was one of the first UNEVENTFUL bonding sessions I can
recall...Everything went
fairly smoothly from start to finish...
Hadda go with a reman, cuz a new one was $410! The reman was $140 &
therefore a
BARGAIN...
So, I guess she's good to go until the next item breaks...
SOW, anybody remember what Bernd said was best - as far as the replacement
timing chain?
I seem to recall him mentioning a double-roller something or other...
At 115K, I'm thinkin she's prolly due, but I'm hopin to make it til the
warmer weather...
TIA,
