Chain Tensioner Replacement Clarification

[cornontherob]

I'm definitely going to lock the engine down for my own sanity. Pelican Parts lists 3 tensioners that are available. Do I use these? Are they stock? And does an upgrade version exist as well?

I am also interested in some of the answers to your questions. Anybody?

Greetings.

I am in a position that I believe I need to change the tensioners. It appears to me that this plunger part is the culprit and I can just change these without removing or replacing the entire unit. Correct?

On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being an oil change and 10 being engine removal, where does this job fall? Roughly how many hours?

Thanks.

Matt, just keep in mind that before you remove the tensioners you will need to lock the crank and the cams as well..
