So after the recent noise with my 3.0l six I tried changing the throwout bearing, and that seemed to work, but the noise returnedf and I couldn't relly pin it down, it didn't really seem like the chains but I figured what the hell I will pull and inspect anyway.
Here is what I found. I thought oh good it's not the tensioners they look good. Can you spot the problem? Attached image(s) |

I know, two too many cylinders, and the cam is out on top of the head instead of inside the case where it belongs!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
OK, I can try to guess on that not-overly-familiar motor: The tensioner looks to be collapsed against the safety collar. That, and the idler sprocket mounting bolt (??) doesn't look like it's very well attached. --DD |
