70k miles? Leave the timing chain the heck alone. That's a can o' worms you don't need to open.

Yeah I got the chain changed. Everything disassembled. I'm waiting for my MSD..should pick it up Monday. Then everything is going back on.
When putting the pulley back on should I be worried about timing?

what pulley, the ballancer or the timing spocket? double tripple check the sprockets to make sure the dots are lined up correctly. when you put the balancer on the arrow points up when #1 is at tdc.

Okay just checking. Yeah I pulled the balancer off with the arrow up. And I'll make sure I line them back up when I put them back on.
