    I just finished replacing chain and guides, timing is dead on, but engine runs rough and ultimately dies. Is this a sign of incorrectly setting the tensioner?

    I have a question so I am doing the valve stem seals because I think and am hoping its not the piston rings, all the piston have oil puddle on top and I can see the oil line from the top dripping down. If it was piston would all 6 really fail?

    Hello, my m272 350cgi rattles 2 seconds but only on a warm start feeling like the oil drips down . No rattle on cold. Is the tensioner at fault? I think i can change it myself like you did, i have the tools. Its 100euro for me tho quite expensive, but if it fixes it i will do. Thanks pls reply!

    • @pilskadden
      @pilskadden 4 місяці тому +1

      Mine does the same. Only on warm starts when the engine has been sitting about 1 hour. I don't think it is the tensioner, because then it would be more likely to rattle from cold when the oil has drained away from the tensioner. From what I hear this is a common issue and no-one really knows what it is. I have decided to live with it. After 6 years it is still the same. No worse.

      Seems like a good way to wear out the plastic guides -> more expensive repair, from chain banging around on them. I see guides costing $2 each but getting to them!

    I have a 20 year old M113 engine, 150K miles. I hope the procedure is about the same as this video. While the serpentine belt is loose is it easy to replace it?
    Also wondering same question as Grzegorz Palak, whether they can be popped out first. Actually my tensioner hasn't arrived yet so I don't know if this is even an issue for my engine/part.

    Hello.whats is the reason of tensioner replacement? When i start my cold m273 emngine li hear chain noise for 10 seconds and after noise disapears. Could be tenssioner fault?

    • @davidjacobs8558
      @davidjacobs8558 3 роки тому

      it could be stretched chain, or worn out idler sprocket, etc.
      last m273 engines were produced 8 years ago, so they are getting old.

    • @angturil
      @angturil 8 місяців тому

      Rattle noise at cold start = chain tensioner and/or bad oil quality in most cases. To make sure the timing chain is not stretched, remove the magnets and control the markings that must be adjusted when engine is at 305°.
      Chain tensioners are under 100$, worth replacing, and the procedure is quite easy. It's a 1 hour job. I do it about every 50k miles to not give a chance to bad luck to happen ;)

    • @Smudg
      @Smudg 4 місяці тому

      The noise is about 3 to 5 seconds from a cold start and not heard all day long. This could also be the O ring on the engine oil suction tube, take out the oil pan, remove the air filtes and lift the engine about 3 inches using a a pipe and a jack and change the O ring on the plastic suction tube, its about $6.00 and you can do it yourself.
