what does that mean? are you saying that it's common for the cam sprocket to be reversed? give me a break!
there is NO WAY I would have allowed a timing chain that was rubbing against the block to be re used. also, I would be eyeing the oil pump, tensioners and anything else in there that would be getting iron filings from the wear!
the mechanic reccomended against replacing the chain! HE is responsible. go to HIS boss and get the valves/etc replaced for free!
