Not trying to hijack this thread but, someone mentioned having to replace the timing chain and sprockets. Are there telltale signs this should be done short of taking the front of the engine off for inspection?
My '82 RS has 162,000 on the clock and runs great.
I think the best thing to do would be to have an airhead mechanic that works on 'em with frequency have a listen. As the chains wear they do get noiser, but with time, your"ear" has adjusted to the sound. It is my understanding it is the sprockets etc. that wear more than the chain.
