My EX started sounding like there was bunch of marbles bouncing around in the engine. As I suspected the timing chain tensioner was broken in half and all the pieces fell down into the oil pan. I managed to get all the plastic pieces and 3 what I would call leaf springs for lack of a better term. My question is, are there more than 3 leaf springs?
The one that broke was put in under the recall notice back in 2000.
