Thanks for the input Tom. I had the whole front cover off, so the distrubutor was reset when the whole thing was put back to TDC & reassembled. The chain had to have close to 10deg stretch, I've never seen one this bad that survived. It made gouges deeper than 1/4in in the head, gouged up the valve covers & timing cover & destroyed a guide & ate a few teeth off of two of the intermediate gears. It was BAD.

She idles great for a time then rather abruptly switches to a low idle/misfire situation.

Can anyone hook me up w/ an engine vac diagram for the DJet 450?

Thanks!
