Subject: Re: Gravel type bits in my oil pan
hmmm... that's interesting.. there was quite a bit of gasket sealer slop. Maybe if my tensioner looks squeeky-clean (I'll replace it anyway).. I'll go with that theory. I've never done a timing case cover removal before.. but there's a first time for everything.. if you all arn't tiring of this discussion and want to throw me a few suggestion on replacing the tensioner.. I'd be grateful. I do have a new tensioner (valtek), gasket and the seal... also have a tool Steve Brenton made for me to hold the wheel while I break the 'big nut' free... am I on the right track?.. anyone know off hand what size socket I need... thanks, Bill
