Timing Chain Guide Replacement Parts

[justgod]

I looked for something like these a while back and they didn't exist, now they do! You can get just the nylon wear strips for the guides:

Last time I've seen some they were like this. For $100 You can be more on the safer side and get the complete piece!

This is what mine looked like after 243k. I would not have known it was worn without an oil sample report showing elevated AL content. Now at 295k and running great. The nylon was not worn through on the left side, but both were replaced.

lol, then the chains either wore through to the metal or there was another problem. I have 6 perfect pairs that just need the nylon. I'm glad I saved them. Not to mention, you can get these in billet form now and I don't think you'd want to throw those away now would you.

Strange......I had 256K miles on my 2004 when we tore it down and the timing guides and tensioners looked perfect!!:confused:

Wonder why some wear so bad??:eek:

Same here Jack! My car has always been driven hard so I cant support that argument either.

Steel or or plastic tensioners? The steel ones have a ratcheting mechanism that if you jack up the oil pressure by hammering down, they stay locked at that higher tension. That’s why you grind off the teeth if you use the steel tensioners. :D

Dunno? Besides lack of changing oil? Driving style differences surely wouldn’t control the outcome.
