1987 Buick Century 3.8L Timing chain
Posted to GM Engine on 1/21/1999

Hi group, First time post so I'll do my best. I have this car that quit running. Just cranks over like there is no compression. I found that the timing chain isa very loose and the cam juumped a few teethbut I am wondering if this engine is a valve bender....
