do you losen your tentioner when you put it on. If you do it you should know what I'm taking about.
Well the wheeler was my cusins and it was in good hands they tried everything but i might do that next time. Luckly timing chains are cheap.
Just curious, how do you know that the timing chain is stretched?

Yeah sounds more like he needs to just tighten the tensioner down, even if the chain were stretched a bit, you should still be able to get it tight with the tensioner.Quote:

You may want to look at your chain guides. If they're excessively worn (possibly by a tensioner problem), they could be allowing your chain to become prematurely slack. You could also have a problem with your tensioner. There is no way to adjust it, it is spring loaded. I don't know if the service manual will have wear specs for the guides, maybe someone can look it up for you. If the spring in the tensioner is damaged, you'll probably just have to replace it.
Well if you plan on replacing it, I have a stock cam chain that is new that I'll let go for $45 shipped. :cool:
Great deal Rico! I'll take 10. LOL:D
Actually i found out it isnt the timing chain i think is just the sound of the valves. So nothin is wrong with it. But thanx for the suggestions.
