Timing chain tensioner dude. Motor out to replace is easiest way, but if you are really bodgy you can remove the studs from the bottom of the timing cover and just take the head of and do it in car. New tensioner is about $30 or so.

yeah tenision screw, you should ask hiim if he managed to salvage it, or if the basstard fell through. If it fell thorugh, you will have to go in and recover it form the sump.
cheers.......TIm
