So do they (post 2002) need the replacement in the first place?

He's saying that part doesn't exist in the 3 chain models, so no, it can't be replaced

Oh, right, it is a 3-chain design. I might have forgotten... but the moment I read your message, I was like - darn it, I read about it earlier.

So are there any other replaceable parts for the timing chain guide/tensioner?

Thanks for your DIY videos input.
