Another guy was talking about the upper tensioner wearing down and this causing the internal oil leak with the ticking noise. The tensioner is a $50 part.
Anyone have an idea of how hard that is to change??? |
Interesting...no I have not heard anything about this tensioner wearing down but I am would be interested in knowing the outcome on this thicking noise in which I ve had experienced it in light moderation.
