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

chain and it's tensioner. But old rubber can get to bepretty brittle
especially when exposed to lots heat and time. BruceBill Cohoon wrote:

Anyway... I guess no matter what, I need to check thetensioner... thanks to
everyone for your suggestions..... Bill
