Re: 1998 2.4 = interference engine?

I ran into a slight setback

The good news, however, is that I noticed the greenish tint on the head gasket while everything's apart.

Here's the pics I took:

Notice how much slack there is in the chain, I was able to move the chain links 1/2 a tooth by hand.



The timing chain jumped a tooth, notice the timing mark at the top of the crank sprocket. The cam sprockets are both lined up with a 1/4" bolt through the alignment holes.



There was a 1/4" to 3/8" gap between the tensioner and the tensioner shoe.
