I'm about to order parts to swap out a timing chain tensioner on my 2001 4L SOHC.
The tensioner in question, I believe, is the front tensioner, right behind the thermostat housing on the top of the engine.
One of the youtube videos I saw showed them removing a tensioner with a "reservoir" (long black extension).
After looking at my car, which rattles terribly, it looks like the tensioner on it doesn't have a reservoir.
QUESTION: anyone know if the front tensioner is reservoir or not?
does anyone know if I can install a tensioner with a reservoir even if mine doesn't currently have that?
Thanks,
Matt
