Can anyone say otherwise for the M44? | | | 03-15-2014, 10:23 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2014 Location: widnes Posts: 100 | itll be fine then, im building a m47 cranked one, just wondered while it was apart if it NEEDED one... thanks! | | | 03-15-2014, 10:32 PM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2013 Location: Louisiana Posts: 27 | Aha!

Looking forward to getting it in, its having a lexus is200 6 speed too! | | | 03-18-2014, 08:12 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | timing chains don't really wear out like timing belts do, since you have it apart anyways I'd just replace the chain guides and tensioner | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
