So far this is turning in to a red letter day. First the problem with acceleration turned out to be just a cracked part (easily repairable!). Then while doing the valve clearances, my husband checked the timing chain and it only has ONE degree stretch. Whoo hooo! The car has 275,000 miles on it, so I don't know if that would be the original timing chain or not. Doesn't matter either way... good news!

Anyway, my question was about the cams. They are smooth, but several of them are two tone. Not sure if you can see it in the photo. Do we need to worry? Or do we just need to worry that we worry too much? The parts car was not like this.

Thanks,
