ah ive never done a e series one but with this the sump has to come off etc etc but ill chuck in a double row timing chain and they get rid of the tensioners altogether.

by **Dansedgli** » August 25th, 2010, 9:30 pm

Youch. Did the tensioner breaking break anything else?

by **LOW_XR** » August 25th, 2010, 9:33 pm

yeah spot on mate!
well it made a slight rattle at higher rpm's. but i dont know if it was that or not tho. soon find out once i get it back

but sump was off yesterday.No bits were found in there so thats good. got to hear it run for a minute today. sounded pretty good.
Still a few things to finish off but all being well ill have it back tomorrow night.....

Where are you getting the work done? How much power is expected?

by **LOW_XR** » August 26th, 2010, 6:43 pm

C+A auto fashion. they are nice guys and are like 5 shops up from my work. WIN!!! they just had a big write up in street commodores.
i guess it was them who got me to buy a holden. always tuff cars there and the noise when they test drive them/dyno

im hoping for about 315-320 ish rwkw
