All this time I thought my 73 eldo had timing gears and not a chain.
Well today I set out to change the oil and lo and behold lots of little
pieces of rubber/plastic in the pan. I remembered from a long ago post
that this was due to the chain tensioner coming apart. Well sure enough
after taking it all apart that is exactly what I found. Quick call to
Harpers and the parts will be in the mail tomorrow. my question to the
group: are there any tricks or precautions I need to know about before
doing what seems to be a simple job? I've never done this before so any
hints would be appreciated.
