Changing Timing Chain ????

[bulldogs3d]

Does anyone know if you have to remove the cams in order to change the timing chain and tensioner that's what someone told me but i hope it's easier than that.

In my experience, no I didn't have to remove the cams themselves.

No, you don't need to remove the cams. You do have to be pretty smooth with removal & reinstallation & make sure you don't slip a tooth on the chain when putting it back in.

thanks for the info guys. fred do you have any tensioners for sale

If the pad isn't worn down you can take them apart and clean them, then they are good as new.

I think i'm going to try that it's just I already put so much into my car if I could find some new one's that are'nt some crazy price I'd like to get them

Well, you are not going to find new ones cheap. Mine arn't for sale, but if I were to sell my new tensioners and chains they would be in the $300 range.
