OK, Iv'e manned up enough meat of my bones to take on the Timing Chain Challenge, the challenge of sweat, grueling agonizing train of thought, and sore fingers. My question now is, what do I need? Here is a list of what I think Ill need.
-cam locking tools
-4 METAL tensioners
-obviosly I have the socket and ratchet asortment
-maybe a new water pump
-deffinetly a new thermostat
-But do I need new chains since I've seen other member only replace the tensioners and guides
-and guides
This list I am aware will be costly, but much less costly than having Sir. Jeremy Sheffield of Manchester to do this for me for 22802587 pounds and 2 shillings. Or in the US (Im American)2582539782537892530789253978 worthless dollars. Little joke to lighten my stress as Im only 17 doing this job on the weekend.
