I understand that if one does not perform the 00m12 recall the timing chains at some point will fail.
What exactly does upgrading the timeing chain tensioner in the recall do anyway?
I am told that even with the 00m12 recall, the timing chains will eventually need replacement at some point down the road.
What are the drivability symptoms of failing timing chains? I have upwards of 155k mi somewhat hard driven miles on my engine, I have not heard the Dieseling sound at start up yet.
I am told by other board members that it would be cheaper to get the engine rebuilt than to replace the timing chains?
Thanks
