PLEASE HELP.. i have a chain rail thats cracked and engine makes noise

hey guys .. i just bought this car from oregon, and drove home to los angeles. when i got it from there the engine was making noise like clapping noise from the top section, i took a chance and drove it home .. a 8 hour drive. the car drove perfect, it just had that clapping noise. so heres the deal.. the motor had been previously redone, about 20k ago. now we opened up the valve cover did a valve adjustment,. those were fine, and realized that the chain guide is cracked on the top section, right by the tensioner, so we took out the tensioner, and the screw that bolts on to the block, its a pin on that screw, its the banana shaped guide, we cant get that damn thing out... we have a new one, and looks like its suppose to come right out after taking out the tensioner, how do i take this thing out,, and do you think the noise couldve been from that? please advise asap.. thanks. oh its a 1982 300td. wagon.

In the other thread someone said to use a slide hammer. Also mentioned a special tool to remover the pin. I used a bolt that screwed into the threads of the pin. I had a nut that the thread ID was larger than the head of the pin. Then a nut that matched the threads on the bolt. Turning in the nut with the thread same as the bolt and the nut with the ID bigger than the head of the pin, between it and the engine block, the pin will come out.

This is a good technique and the only one to use in a tight place, a slide hammer can destroy the threads, dont ask how I know

As I remember the pin for that "bannana' guide is down low in a tight place.

I've done the banana guide and the upper and lower lower guide in car. I had the vacum pump off to get to them. I think the original poster needs to look at chain streatch. Someone told me there isn't much reason for the top guide to break, unless the chain is slapping against it. I would change the chain and tensioner unit. I would also look into changing the 'banana' guide. The lower two on mine didn't look to have much if any wear. I would go with an IWIS timing chain. I used a Beckley/Arnold, but I don't like their link pin. I fired mine up last night. I had it apart since December. Hope to put it on the road Saturday and maybe drive it to work Monday. I'm doing the radiator flush process.
