hearing these opinions has just put me right back on the fence lol
The engine was never line honed, so that is not the issue. The timing set was always kinda sloppy from day one. I am looking into a new timing set, just seems like a shame since this one is still in great shape other then a stretched chain (thought about getting a new chain, but unsure of what to do for length).
I too would like to hear more about the tensioners wear characteristics. As the pads wear, isn't that material going to get into the oil like Brian mentioned? Would this not be a possibility for engine failure as a result? or does the pickup screen prevent this?
