Whilst the engine is out I thought I'd take a look inside the timing covers as you hear all sorts of horror stories of failed tensioners and broken chain ramps.
For once all looks OK!

The type of tensioner is a 1980-1983 Turbo part so I guess the engine has been rebuilt at some point.

my cousin ran into the guy who bought it and he said he had it running the next day
A closer look at the engine. I half expected to find bellows somewhere, and a space to chuck in coal.
I decided to use brass hardware on one of the miniature trebuchets. Using the needle nose pliers I modified for working on the miniature fruit presses and my two ounce ball pein hammer, I nailed all the side planks to the bucket. The nails themselves are just over 3/32 of an inch long.
This is a shot of the new waterpump and timing belt installed. Also, all seals and the balance belt was replaced. The belts was replaced because of age and precaution, even though they had been changed not more than 10.000km's ago.

No reconnaissance aircraft in history has operated globally in more hostile airspace or with such complete impunity than the SR-71, the world’s fastest jet-propelled aircraft. The Blackbird’s performance and operational achievements placed it at the pinnacle of aviation technology developments during the Cold War.
This Blackbird accrued about 2,800 hours of flight during 24 years of active service with the U.S. Air Force. On its last flight, March 6, 1990, Lt. Col. Ed Yielding and Lt. Col. Joseph Vida set a speed record by flying from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. in 1 hour, 4 minutes and 20 seconds, averaging 3,418 kilometers (2124 miles) per hour. At the flight’s conclusion, they landed at Washington Dulles International Airport and turned the plane over to the Smithsonian.
