Title: BOB Timing Chains, guides and tensioners
Post by penny11 on Jan 1^st, 2007, 8:25pm

Hello,

I hope someone can help me, Mr Collister perhaps?

I need to replace the cam chain guides, and tensioners? as well on my BOB Cosworth.

Has anyone done it themselves, or know of a 'step-by-step' guide....?

Any hints or tips appreciated... :)

Thanks in advance

... :) Thanks Octavian, I have seen those,but i was looking for a more 'hands on' detail, ie,take off cover A, remove bolt B, use special tool C, that sort of thing....?

cheers

hi penny

why do the guides and tensioners need changing, unless they fail they shouldnt need replacing?
