Eldo timing chain tensioners: I have had an awful time getting an Eldo to run
right, and finally figured out the timing chain was way loose, which I did
not expect at all because I had used all NOS timing stuff, but what happened
is the rubber piece just fell off of the tensioner. Anyone seen this before?
My vaction has looked like this:
1. my truck died, so I have to put a new engine in it.
2. my son's jeep broke off the waterpump shaft and sent the fan through thru
the radiator, so I had to go rescue him and get him a replacement vehicle,
3. all of my family came to visit
4. we had a llama take sick and had to nurse and eventually put her down
5. the one that topped them all, our house caught fire, fortunately we were
able to put it out before the whole thing was lost, by setting up a bucket
brigade (of course all the hoses were frozen) and throwing water on it. If we
did what the 911 operator told us (to get out and away from the house until
the fire department got there) the whole house would have been lost.
