Well, we all agree that the sprocket arm needs to be up-dated.
Many believe that that alone caused the tensioners to fail. Also look carefully at the shaft on which it rides. They wear unevenly causing a step in the shaft which can bind movement. My 2.7 shafts were severly stepped which meant replacement with aluminum chain boxes......the mag jobbies are getting old and most are shot, me thinks...the pressed in shafts are not as well anchored in the mag boxes. I have a couple aluminum jobbies( for cheep) if you have the need. As to the tens, you're on your own. You've read the stuff. The non oil fed work and did so for a long time. New ones are fairly cheep by comparison to the oil fed. At a minimum, get new ones. I would not under any circumstances use them fucked up locks/guards....what ever. edit: I'm talking about the external guards, not those Tim is talking about. |
