DIY: Repairing/Replacing the Timing Chain Tensioner

Saki GT — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:42:10 +0000

The above video is an example of how a bad Timing Chain Tensioner (TCT) sounds. TCTs go bad as early as 20k miles and the symptom is a metallic rattle or raspy noise when starting a warm/hot engine. Some people experience “baseball card in the spokes” sounds as well. Since there is no comprehensive DIY [...] No related posts.

All that may make a rookie feel out [...] Related posts:

We set aside income for a retirement nest [...] No related posts.
