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?

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
