Thanks Tinker

This is what I am thinking. I have ordered a tensioner and I have the chain.

I need to check the engine timing but I have not done this before so I am looking up the procedure. I know it was posted here but so far my searches haven't found it.

I think the chain is stretched for two reasons- noise and when the weather gets close to 80F the engine started to ping. I retarded the timing a bit for a short-term solution to the pinging.
