Why are gm so ****e are making chain guides / tensioners...

Tell me about it Stu. The original damper did feck all, the slack in the chain was crazy. I know it's ran like that for 25k but just didn't feel happy leaving it. Fitted that jobbie, all sweet. But the back lash I'm getting over fitting that over on the Holden forum is stupid.

Yeah, some would say a blessing. The whole car is rather crude. But is all owing to muscle car status. If I had all the bits in one hit from start to finish the whole job would of been completed in less than a day. Big, crude, reliable horsepower... Can't beat it.

What you need as a contrast now is something fiddly and japanese to work on

**Saloony** · 13-01-14, 07:35 PM
