"If you're in there"
"Cheap Insurance"

[Inspect your OP system Sprockets for wear and/or chipping as per FSM;they
may be O.K. to continue using with the New Chain.]

Oil Pump:Chain ,Spring,Guide,AND Sprockets (One for OP, one for Crankshaft)
are inexpensive. 'Just make sure you use "Loctite"on the Oil Pump Sprocket Bolt!
(The Factory does not...But you, being a Savvy Owner,will want the extra
insurance of KNOWING that bolt CAN NEVER BACK OUT!)
