New OEM at the dealers are $265,for all the pieces(chain,gears,tensioner are sold separately).
This engine was overheated due to extended use of E-85. Wore holes next to th valves,into the water passage.
Had he block checked,and bearings are all fine,since no coolant in the oil pan.
Radiator tank blew out from t-stat locking closed.
So, I'm changing everything,to be safe.
