Default Re: Problems with new style tensioner

Yep...I don't ever want to go in there again....I replaced the camshaft seals, the water pump, the timing idler, the timing tensioner, and the front crank seal. I'm tired... I had to keep working on it and then go away and cool my nerves and hit it again the next day. Been at it for a couple hours a day for what seems like a week now. I still have to get all the junk put back on...now that the timing belt is on. I did not remove the a/c or the exhaust....but I did remove the throttle body...and the intake manifold to give myself some wiggle room while getting the power steering pump off.

I was going to say that I removed a bunch more stuff than that when I did mine but I forgot that I did the head gasket at the same time. Good to hear you took precautions and did that other stuff in there. You should be good to go for awhile now.
