KAdams,
What procedure did you use to check the chain stretch? Can you post links to threads you've looked at for it? Both mine has over 200K and I'd like to check the condition of the chain.

With the marks aligned perfectly, like so...
I end up seeing this at the crank...
I'd call that 1.5 degrees, so I guess there must be an offset key in place already, since this does not look like a new chain at all...
What are your thoughts? I honestly expected it to be all FUBAR. I never expected this, and I can't comprehend why anyone would go to such lengths to correct cam timing, yet leave a scored and flattened camshaft in there.
