cam tensioners
Does anyone have a diagram of the cam tensioners. When I start my car up on a cold morning I hear rattling like the cam chains for about 2-3 seconds and then it goes away. I am not sure how the tensioners work, do they work from spring pressure or what. It is a 2001 2.8 with 139,000 on it.

The only time you would NEED to replace it is if it clicks the entire time youre driving.
It wouldn't hurt to replace it, but why spend the money if its unnecessary?
If youre doing your timing belt you can do it at the same time. but other than that its prob not something you really want to get into.
