So a few months ago I installed a remanufactured engine
It has cloys timing components
I understand that the guides are not the problem
When the tensioners start to fail then they will slap around then breaking the guides
Making a startup rattle ...guides breaking...
I installed a pre oiler on the old engine to temporarily cure startup rattle and it did cure it
I re installed the pre oiler on the new engine
Will this cure the problem permanently or just help?
I get around 30 psi oil pressure before I start the engine
That means the tensioners are pumped up bearings are floating cams crank ...etc
I am pretty sure this will cure it permanently
Plus that engine never sees over 3000 rpm ...my lovely wife loves her truck and baby granny drives it
The pre oiler dumps about a qt of oil starting at 60 psi by the time the gauge in the dash pops up I have holding 30psi on the engine I get about 20 seconds of time to start the engine be for the pre oilers tank runs out of oil hehe
Do y'all think with this system in place the timing components will last ANY opinions will be grateful
