Engine + Driveline / How does this timing gear look to you?

Any thoughts about the profile gasket?  Should I be pulling the head and changing it?

I haven't done the tensioner myself - no idea if it was ever done by the PO.

Pulled apart the valve cover and upper timing case tonight to check the timing chain, sprockets, and guides.  Looks to me like the chain is good, sprockets are good, guides are alright except the top of the one guide had some pieces broken off - which I found in the oil pan.  That was the only stuff I found in the pan though.  Thoughts?










Last question: does this look like a profile gasket problem waiting to happen?

Bringing up an old thread again... but has anyone in a cold climate (northern USA, or Canada) done this mod successfully?  I'd like to do it but I'm concerned about the effects for cold weather driving.
