ok so my car is having all kinds of issues right now. I took it to a mechanic and it turns out that I needed to replace the head gasket since the gasket blown...
what sux is that I went through all kinds of messures BEFORE to try to fix the over heating problem, including the radiotor, but that was a waste of time and money!

Now while the engine is open, the guy at the shop tells me that the timing chain also needs to be replaced. Now before i spend more money on this, is it worth getting the whole kit or should I just get the chains?

What exactly is included in the kit?

 

how were u able to make ur own thread with 11 posts ?
whats wrong with the timing chain u got on now ? it never needs replacement in theory, maybe the guide or something else is the problem

 

get a new engine instead. overheated & blown head gasket probably also means warped or cracked heads, warped block, etc.

also, if head gasket blew, coolant got into the oil & tore up your bearings & crank.

timing chain is the least of your worries.

don't throw a bunch of money into a damaged engine, only to have problems in the future. get a new engine instead.

 

The kit from www.thepartsbin.com comes w/ chains and a new tensioner.
BUT,

 

How hard is the timming kit to install??

 

Depends on your skill.
