I think you are right, I am at number 3 and will check the timing as you suggest. I am not sure if the chain has stretched or not, but will replace it anyway. I think the noise before was the chain rubbing on a borken part of the guide or on the tensioner. WIll not know till I take it apart and I am going to wait of the parts to come on the 26th before taking it apart. I know the km are low but I don't know what oil the previous owners used (in the earlier years after communisum fell you could not get much except some bad Russian stuff) so maybe the oil was bad or they did not change it much and that contributed to the problem.

Hilux: so you are sayiing you used regular factory 20r guides and adjusted a bolt hole with a file and maybe grind a little on the top of one tab and cut some off the width lenght wise and presto new metal guides?

How much did you cut off the width?
