Slipped timing chain??
I was all prepared to do the tensioner upgrade on my '70T today. I thought I would do the ramps at the same time and I was very careful to ensure that the chain wouldn't slip off the cam sprocket. I wedged a piece of wood between the casing and the left sprocket to ensure the chain wouldn't move and then I took off the old tensioner. I was trying to get the lower ramp off and I was pushing on the chain and all of a sudden it slackened up quite a bit.
The chain didn't slip on the cam sprocket but is it possible that it slipped off the crankshaft?? I put the old tensioner back on and then tried to turn the engine by hand but it's meeting some resistance.
HELP!!
