can you reuse your timing chain and what are the wear signs on a bad chain or sprocket, i am putting my block back together this weekend

 

well what are you doing and what does it look like honestly i would replace it since they are cheap i sell stock replacement for 29.00 its a clevite one but you can go to a perf one for like 40 or 50 its your call but to answer your question technically yes

 

yes but dont theres no need to buy new and do it now instead of a year down the road which will cost more in the long run cause ull have to buy the timing cover gasket set again!
