QUOTE(Cap'n Krusty @ Apr 10 2007, 08:55 AM)  I certainly wouldn't waste my money, or that of my customer, on the silly tensioner changeover. The last version of the original chain tensioner is fine, and rebuildable. Why spend a bunch of money on something that can have the same failure problem? This is one of the far too many times when the term "upgrade" is misused on the internet. The Cap'n So what is your opinion of the Carerra Tensionsers? I was thinking about doing it to my 3.0, but for no other reason than "if everyone else is jumping off the bridge..." |

New they're over $200 each and you can get the Carrera kit for around $489 from ebs racing. Why not spend the extra $50? Also my tensioner appeared to lose some tension after the motor was sitting for about a week, but as soon as I turned the motor over they tensioned right up. Is that a sign of a failing tensioner? |

Well the bolt came out through the engine drain plug with a little bit of coaxing.
Fortunately it was in one piece and didn't look banged up. Now on to replacing the tensioners! |
