Title: oil leak
Post by: JPRA64 on September 12, 2012, 06:32:00 PM
hey guys i got a small oil leak coming from either the timing chain tensioner or head gasket. can i remove the tensioner to replace the gasket or will this put my engine out of timing? my next oil change is coming up so i figure i would do it then.

Yes you can do that. Just don't turn the crank shaft while the tensioner is out.

muchas gracias  :thumb: ehh would it be necessary to replace the tensioner itself as well?
