Looking down the Cam chain tunnel

Guess I'm looking for a little re-assurance here.

Looking down the Cam chain tunnel, at the front where the chain guide sits. The casting seems a little ragged. Does this look correct.

There are no fragments in the bottom of the engine so I'm fairly confident but would like a second opinion.

Thanks, Peter.

Bryanj:
If that's a 400 I think you need to split the cases and free off the tensioner horseshoe as it looks like its been running with a slack chain

petermigreen:
Can the tension not be freed off without splitting cases? It moves freely around its arc.
Thanks, Peter

Bryanj:
If its very free it may be OK but when the chain is loose it batters the bejaysus out of the pivot point making it too stiff for the adjuster plunger to move and the only way to get at it is split the cases

petermigreen:
The adjuster plunger is free as a bird so that's a relief. Don't really want to split the cases as otherwise the engine is sweet.
Thanks for your advice. Peter
