Hi,
While I had the valve cover off, I took a look at the chain, guides and tensioner. I measured one of the links and it was 3/8" between the pin centers. I took a chain-stretch measurement on the chain between the cam sprockets. The section I measured, if perfect, I think it would be 5.25". It was 1/64" longer. From looking at the parts diagram, I measured approximately a tenth of the chain. If I am correct, I believe the chain has stretched 5/32" overall.
I didn't measure it, but the tensioner looks to be extended beyond the 11mm limit. From looking at it would you guys agree?
From what you can see in the pictures, would you say the rails are OK or need replacing also?
Thanks
