Cool Looking for help re: my chains and more

Hi!

A couple of weeks ago, I posted that I need to fix some oil "faucets". A major source of oil is coming from between the cam boxes and engine. Today I spent 5.5 hrs. dropping the engine a tranny and taking off the muffler and cracking the chain covers.

Lots of pics to follow. I am not sure how to diagnose my chains. From what I have read and seen, it looks like the left chain might be stretched, but the right looks OK. Input would be greatly appreciated!

Also, I plan on adjusting the valves and don't know If I should do that before the chains and cam box come off or can it be done on reassembly? I really don't plan on timing the engine by myself - I have never done this, but would like to have a heads up.

Gratuitous self portrait, where's the engine?? Here you go 84porsche!


Left cam/chain box.


Left tensioner...


Left cam gear.


Left sprocket that attaches to tensioner.


Left chain ramp.
