I think this "rebuild" just went from stalled to dead . I don't have the $$ to redo the engine, so I may need to break my daughters heart and tell her it's Dead.

Don't quit over a timing chain that can be replaced for about $100.00 and done in less than 1 day . Youtube is your friend use it for most any question you have rebuilding your truck . There is a video for every part of these old trucks ,
