new problem on the 104 motor (?) timing gear bolts came off
Has anyone had this problem?The car died while driving. Found that the intake cam was not turning.The bolts that hold it to the cam had unscrewed themselves  . The chain or gear did not fall out.it was held in by the upper timing cover  . I checked the exhaust cam and only one bolt was tight.Today I put the chain back on to see how many valves are bent. Lucky the intake valves are involved,they are much cheaper 12.50 v 45.50 dollars
Just wondering if this has happened to other members
Thanks
Rich
