Timing Chain Tensioner Replacement Question

When you do the uppers just take a look at the shoes
When you do the uppers just take a look at the shoes, you will be able to tell, i don't think you will need primary s with 18,000, my XK has 130,000 miles on it, and i was just going to do uppers.. I am just very glad i took the advise of another member not to drive the car, i would have launched the engine for sure!

All kinds of resources here to help you.
A good starting point might be to review the whole thread starting at ...

As with so many other topics, a visit to the FAQs (found within the "sticky" threads that always appear at the top of the thread list) is a good way to move quickly up the learning curve. Saved my butt more than once.
Good luck ...

Timing cover removed & primary & secondary tensioners
Thanks, Matt, and Yea its Cold here in my garage here as well, wait if you can..Here are some pictures of what the Primary tensioners look like after 130,000 Mi. Not good as you can see the right bank shoe got chewed up by the right primary chain, all the shoes and primary s tensioners are cracked, just like the secondary s crack just cant believe it still didn't jump time, I was very lucky, The job sucked because someone broke a bolt in the harmonic balance pulley, i had to drill and tap it blind, cant see it! can only feel it! Without that as you know there is no getting the timing cover off! Glad its done! Highly recommend getting a look at those primary shoes if you are up over 100,000 Mi. Thanks.. Chris
