380 is a screwed up engine with its weight-reduced single row chain. When I bought mine (with a broken chain) it had 100k on it. This is not something to fool with. If you are doing the work on your own, then get the dual gears (5 of them) and a dual chain, and new guides (they are cheap). For the gears check out your junkyard for any SL,SE,SEC or SEL engine (420,500,560). If you need "verbal" help send an email...
Sorry, I just noticed it is not a 380, so please disregard..
