Again, more time has passed and the car is ok. Do I need to replace the sprocket? And should it get the fasteners checked and fixed?

do you think it matters? do you think they could be lying about something, want to get my car for parts, rebuild it and sell it for a profit? I was thinking that- Tommilousis
