2.0 timing chain problems
I bought a 2001 tracker to pull behind my motor home. Being a 30+ year mechanic. I am at wits end.... bought it with the timing chain out. Pulled the head, replaced all valves and a new timing set. Ran great for 300 miles, then the upper chain started making noise. Pulled the valve cover and found the upper chain guide was broken. Replaced the upper guide. Ran fine for a few miles and the upper chain started making noise again.....pulled the front cover and replaced again all timing components, just to be safe......Ran fine for a few minutes, then the upper chain started making noise again. Sounds like it is ready to break the cover. What is going on....... I was meticulous about chain timing.....any ideas???

2.0 chevy tracker timing chain question
After having repeated timing chain failures. I noticed some timing kits show a right chain guide listed. The kits I have used do not have the right guide. I wonder if the missing right chain guide is the reason I have had repeated upper guide breakage and upper chain noise?. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
