well nuts,,,,,,,

there's car timing chain kits like this for only $40 a set. :P

only problem is the chain might be a bit too short, so i may need to buy
another chain and lengthen one somehow. if the stuff comes apart, that

Bulk chain, connecting links and sprockets are available in many sizes
from many sources. Online you have McMaster, MSC, Surpluscenter and many
others, retail you have Tractor Supply and similar.
