muffy 0 Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 a reply to your question on timing chains. my vr has done 178,000 miles an recently i had oil and water mixing together, in the header tank. i took the head off to check the gasket but could find nothing wrong. so i checked the oil cooler and found that was the problem. on removal of the head, the only thing wrong with the timing chains was the chain tensioner, which was quite worn,but it was still doing its job very well. to change the tensioner you will need to remove the gearbox as the casing that surrounds the chain and tensioner is bolted behind the gearbox. YOU CANNOT DO THIS BY REMOVING THE HEAD. HOPE THIS IS OF ANY HELP. !sad Link to post Share on other sites
