    Ep3 possible timing chain or tensioner fault

    I'd say if your trying this yourself It's hard work! Trying to undo the bottom pulley is a nightmare and snapped a 24" powerbar! First off I'd check timing as Lottie's post above but the pictures dont show that the chain also has coloured links (blueish) which also align. This should show if...

    Timing chain needs replacing

    Bought the chain and had the work done both at Stuart Graham. But that was separately, as at first I was going to fit myself. Also price was also quoted before holdcroft took over, hence why you might be seeing a big hike in price :(

    Timing chain needs replacing

    That's what happen to mine aswell, ran well for a day but EML light always came back on. What's happened is the chains jumped a few teeth and there is a very easy way to check which you can do yourself. Take off the cam cover and rotate the chain and check the marks on chain and pulleys match...

    Chain Tensioner

    Well after my chain jumped about 3 teeth and need to be replaced/repositioned I thought it best to investigate the cause. After reading various items it appeared the Honda tensioner and low oil levels were the weak link. Hence looking for a uprated version and buying a Toda as this was the...
