I'm going through the engine in my '82 BR and have a couple of questions.

1. The timing chain. Should the gears be replaced as well? I seldom change any chain with also tossing in fresh gears too. My rod play is fine so I'd rather not go into the crankcase unless I have to.

2. Cam. It looks good too but I see aftermarket stock replacements from $30- $80 on e-bay. Are the cheap ones any good?

3. Is the oil pump something I should worry about or just leave it alone?

Any other tips for me? I plan on using an oversized OEM stock piston and rings. My gasket kit is Vesrah.
