You don't need to change the cam chain every 80k :lol: | |

my 12v B had 120,000 miles, fairly noisey chain (but I've heard louder). Just ran and ran! | |

Yes do an oil change & run a small amount of engine flush (it works quite well if you follow the instructions to the letter!!!!!) it might free it up, failing that would just need a chain change with new tensioners. In all honesty those engines need to be serviced so regularly & carefully because if the filter falls apart & ends up clogging something like an oil squirter on the chain it'll chew itself in hours!! | |

ild say a oil change is advisable. A timing chain should be changed around 80k miles apparently. Crazy money to fix though.. i was quoted around 400 | |

its needs a modified tensioner, but everythings apart you should change the chain too | |

im pretty sure there self adjustment and the only way to sort them out is to renew the chain and tensioner . | |

you hear it loudest on idle, the timing chain is rattly. How would i get this sorted? would it be a new tensioner, or a new chain or both? or just adjust the existing tensioner? thanks |
