AC_DUBZ 0 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I was thinking of inspecting my timing chain and upper guide rails due to a rattle i have at about 1500 rpm in that area, i was wondering can you replace the upper guide that is just below the exhaust camshaft pulley without taking off the lower chain cover?

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 AC Dubs, look in the premium members section in the knowledge vault, there's a DiY guide to changing your timing chains... Link to post Share on other sites
AC_DUBZ 0 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 cheers, could i get away with just doing the guide rail and tensioner bolt for the time being? Link to post Share on other sites
mightymidget 0 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Guide rail and bolt can be done without removing the gearbox. However, I'd highly recommend inspecting the top tesnsioner by removing the cam cover before removing the tensioner bolt. If you have the older type tensioner rail it could have already failed and the tensioner bolt could be the only thing thats holding it in place. You'll have to pull the box to replace the tensioner rail.. Link to post Share on other sites
