my engine spat a tensioner

[Zac Campbell]

Hi guys I pulled off the timing cover this afternoon to find the source of the rattling noise my engine was making and I found it alright; the tensioner had worn entirely on one side of the rubber and eventually fell off the side of the chain! The tensioner spring was pretty messed up! Wasn't doing any tensioning. The only other thing I stuffed up was ripping the head gasket when I was pulling the front cover off. Hopefully a bit of that gasket in a tube crap can fix that. Anyway I have ordered geniune chain and tensioner from Nissan for a reasonable price so it will be back together soon. cheers, zac --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
