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) |

Thanks for the picture! that looks like a late style case like the one I have (without the sump plate).
Did the oil pumps on the late cases came with screens? |

Thanks for the picture! that looks like a late style case like the one I have (without the sump plate). Did the oil pumps on the late cases came with screens? Yes, they came with a screen. That tensioner looks collapsed. The collar should be 4mm above the tensioner body, and the piston usually sets farther out than that one. The loose collar wouldn't cause the noise, a loose chain would. Chains get loose because the tensioner bleeds down. Kits are available. I rebuild NEW tensioners before installation. The Cap'n |

The Cap'n (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with the CAP'T. I had the stops in my 2.0 6 and had one tensioner fail. The stop held but it did make a lot of noise, kind of resonates chain noise. And yes the safety stop is supposed to be in the middle of the piston not resting on the cylinder like the one in your pic. |
