Thanks CK..
The stuff we do when you have too much time on your hands...
Ran into a problem with one of the Cams locking bars had to drill the holes 2 sizes bigger to use it. Now looking over the parts I just received so far 1 of the tensioners wasn't packaged and the there's no pin.
How do I get it back in ? Do you know?
thanks.
I contacted the seller he's going to send me a replacement. . Stuff happens. ..

Been busy with important things all day, like Spring cleaning of the garage and prep for re-painting the garage floor.......I don't know where I keep getting all this stuff-I- can't-do-without from, last time I did this was 5 years ago and didn't have half the stuff-I-can't-do-without that I have now! So, due to being occupied in the garage all day I have been out of the loop with the tensioner rebuild progression. It really sucks that the new tensioner had lost its pin, and is that rusty tensioner the original, or the new one? Christopher's are really good about making things right, and you should get a replacement priority mail.
I can see you are doing a good job with cleaning and surface prep work, definitely don't want to do this job twice!
Did you make any progress with replacing the thermostat tower.......? Now would be a good time to take care of that.

If it wasn't so embarrassing I would show you a picture of my other garage and the ship I've been holding onto for more than 20 years, half is new product but obsolete now...
So I feel your pain...
As for the tensioner that one you see in the picture The Rusted one without the PIN was part of my order I just got, I already called Christopher's and spoke with the owner and he assured me he would send out a replacement right away so I'm not too worried about that
I mentioned it was you that recommended him.
I got the thermostat housing and distribution pipe on order. I think I should also order a intake gasket kit.
other than that still cleaning little things.
Everyone stay safe and healthy.
I don't want to hear anyone turned into zombie!
all updates as soon as I have something to update thanks guys

A rusted and incomplete part, that is not good, a slap on the wrist for Christopher's!
[QUOTE=Mrjay622;2206061]
Distribution pipe?
[QUOTE=Mrjay622;2206061]Are you going to go the whole hog and remove the intake manifold? If so here is a link to a walk thru, it includes a list of parts.

Ah, that pipe, yes, it's definitely showing its age.
Agreed, no point in putting it all back together and then tearing it apart again.
Fingers crossed that the trend continues.
