Follow up to Seattle trip
I took everything apart and the timing chain was tight. Maybe it was bad gas?
Anyway, I'm about to but evething back together. A local mechanic said to spray a bunch of brake cleaner below the timing chain where the oil goes back into the pan to clean out any junk that went in while cleaning the area for the gasket. Then he said to rund the garden hose in there to further flush stuff out. Spray it down with wd40, set overnight then close it up and fill with oil.
Call me crazy but I don't thing spraying water into any part of the engine that requires oil sounds like a bad idea.
