the K just to much. now how hard will it be to installed?

 

It can be a pretty hard job to do, i just did one for another member yesterday.
The dealer will typically charge 6 hours to change it out.
You need to take thevalve cover off, un-bolt the cams and tensioner and pull it out. I usually use a channel lock to hold the timing belt on the cam pulley (saves you hours of work taking off the timing belt)
Put the engine at TDC, and line up the cam shaft timing marks, and count 16 chain links between the marks when installing the new tensioner. Like in the pic below.

 

thanks you so much. one more, whats TDC and how you move it without the motor on?

 

TOP DEAD CENTER, meaning the number 1 cylinder is at the top of its stroke with the timing marks lined up. You can easilly see the cam timing mark by taking off the upper timing belt cover, take out the number 1 spark plug to see if the piston is at the top of its stroke if you don't wanna look for the crank timing mark.
You can either just bump the engine over with the key, or turn the engine over by hand with a 12 point 19mm socket at the crank.

 

i just found a pic that someone else has of there tensior. thats what mine looks like. i dont know how to add pics to this

 

Look up the FAQ under your profile to learn how to post pics, its best to use a site like photobucket to post pics.
All tensioners are basically the same, the older ones without the electrical connection are just a lot cheaper.

 

thanks again

 

mine looks like that, maybe a little deeper. so that depth that chain lays in is that normal?

 

i have no metal i took this from someone else. so metal is not a issue i hope not at least

 

.

does anyone know what that pipe is called?? where i can buy one besides the dealer and does it loops around the block under the intake madifod?
