80 240 - Loose parts under timing belt cover 200 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Harry on  Sun Nov 9 21:13 CST 2014 [RELATED]

My old steadfast 1990 240 is a no start. Gave it to my son as first car but it wasn't cool enough so he bought a truck and gave it back. It sat about three months then I needed it as my truck died. Started it up to get truck parts and it died crossing the highway ... very bad ... started and ran like the amm was dirty. Got it home and cleaned the amm. Wife took it to work next day and said it ran bad and barely made it home. I tried to start it to check it out and it is a no start now. Have spark and it won't run on starting fluid spray. engine shakes a lot so I figure the timing belt jumped. Loosen the cover and peer inside. Belt in good shape. Find a large roll pin looking thing laying next to the tensioner with fresh abrasion marks on it. What is it and where did it come from? It got dark so done for now. Any help appreciated. THANKS
