Hi all. just got around to replacing the two secondary timing chain tensioners, went pretty smooth, was having a very slight rattle on cold start. Engine running very smooth now with minimal noise.
I'm not hugely worried about it since everything is running fine, but the tensioner next to the thermostat housing was almost entirely seized in the outward position when I removed it (2-3cm of play). Is this a cause for concern? Just looking for insight on the matter, engine has 201k on it.
Thanks
