Top all disconnected,not to bad so far.

That's the way to go.since the bushing disintegrated it seems the whole inside of the timing cover has very fine metal shavings and I'm sure it went through the whole engine.my daughter still owes on the car so car parts.com I guess.so I pulled my engine hoist out . Any secrets short cuts to removing this engine.last time I did this it was all v8's and 6 cylinder.one gas line and a few wires.

Where is the best place to get an engine .I can turn the engine by hand only an eight of a turn before it binds,I'm not putting and extra force on it,but I think the damage has been done.two timing marks,lines on sprokets on right viewed from from front are not up and down.

Every think was intact ,bolt did not shear. I believe from your illustration the center of the sprocket ,bearing disintegrated, there was lots of fine metal dust under it,I'm wondering now why engine is seized.pan to day and oil pump.

Is this normal,my Subaru had a raping noise that I thought was an idler for the belt.than it would not idle and finally it would not start.code said 1 3 5 misfire.last attempt to start it ,it just stoked ,engine seized.removed timing cover and found lower idler sprockets,that drives both sides to have what seems like the bearing missing. Could it be the missing pieces are stuck in my pump ,I'll check tomorrow, I thought the timing chains lasted forever on these.how much from the pic is missing.

My 2002 Subaru was knocking with codes for 1 3 5 misfire.while trying to start it the engine siezed.I pulled the timing chain cover off and found the lower idler sprocket bearing is gone ,with metal shaving's and a few pieces, I'm hoping that the parts are stuck in the oil pump and may be that's why it will not turn,any ideas.and is there a bearing or bushing that's goes in the sprocket
