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) |

The only reason the safety collar is sitting on the tensioner body is because the collar is not held tight to the tensioner.
Do you think I need new chains, I plan to do the hydro tensioner change while I have it apart(unless you all thin otherwise)? I am pretty sure they changed the cam/cam nut design in 82, my 80 engine looks like yours, this is an 83. |
