timing chain question
Hi all, new to this site, lots of good advice, been lurking for awhile. My question is this: can (or should) I reuse the camshaft sprockets and the gear on the crankshaft when I replace the chain? I know V8's usually come with the gears as part of the package, not so with a twin cam 2.4. I'm doing a head gasket replacement @140000 miles, started leaking into #1 cylinder and burning off in the exhaust. so I bit the bullet and tore it down. Had the head cleaned up and checked, milled.006, valves all good, going to replace the water pump, T-stat, all hoses, (all original) and the timing chain. I know this seems like a simple question, but I have looked far and wide on the web and can't seem to find an answer. I plan on driving this until the wheels fall off. All in all it has been a damn good car, bought it new in 2001. Thanks in advance for any advice.
