The chain has to stretch a LONG way before it can skip a tooth......

Does it drive ok? Or does it always run like crap?

I'm wondering if a wire was pinched during the reinstall. BTDT several times.

Or the crank sensor (if you have one...) was left in place when reinstalling the engine.... They generally take a beating that way.

That is not a good sign..... Check the dipstick. Is it just oil? Or is that milkshake as well?
