Replacing timimg tenshioners, guides?

[tomustang]

Yeah everyone says it and "why not" but seriously Iv'e torn apart two 4.6L's an both times the guides and tensioners are still in great shape.


Has anyone heard of a failure of the two?

mine were great @ 85,000 miles when i did my PI swap.. but i'm gonna put new in when I put the new combo together just because everything else will be new so might as well stick with the plan...

Tommy has no money. He's trying to put this 4V together with masking tape and play-doh. So he's not above cutting corners

i ran out of the play-doh, cause i ate it.

he could always stand on a few corners for some dough.
