    Looks like you have the iron tensioners, do you know if they have been replaced before or not?

    If your engine looks like that, I am really scared for its longevity.

    It was horribly neglected.

    I've never seen the inside of a Mod motor turn orange.

    Weird.

    It only turns that color from gross neglect.

    This was mine (for reference) when I opened it up to replacing some timing parts at 214k miles on the motor.
