Here we go again. I was driving my 93 Aero and noticed a slight vibration after about 10 to 15 minutes of driving. In other words it started all of sudden without warning. The vibration started out like cold tires or maybe a low tire. I drove the car for about another 10 to 15 minutes noticing the car vibrating worst as I drove. I was sure it was a tire going flat, but as I turned into work I noticed something like a snap or break. Not loud, but a rattle noise began immediately. I was driving roughly less than 30 miles an hour and drove for about another mile total.
I had the car towed home because the engine sounds like there’s marbles in the engine. No major pecking but like a growling noise. I took off the belt because I first thought it could be one of the belt bearings, but as my luck would have it, it wasn’t. I took the valve cover off and looked down into the bottom of the timing chain area. At the bottom, I can see that the bottom sprocket is missing several teeth. I would say that row of 4 or 5 are missing. The timing chain never came off and looks fine but I’m wondering how much damage could have been done with everything considered above? What should I do? What parts should I buy and does anyone have detailed direction for removing the timing cover, timing chain, and replacement of both? Has this every happened to anyone else?
Thanks
