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 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 |
