This is only what I had found.I found that when the timing tensioner &Guide rail Wich is plastic went out .it broke into multiple pieces clogging out oil pump and also glogged one of the small ports that transfer oil to diff. Parts of the engine was clogged. .Removed plastic pieces from oil pump screen & l out of a port hole. Running now seems like it doesn't have the power that it used to any suggestions anyone?
