Mine at 100k wore down to the bottom, broke apart and made the chain somehow jump teeth and subsequently caused valve-to-piston contact. It`s very important to replace these pads in time, they are really poorly made.

What is the time frame to accomplish this if your a rookie. 2 weekends ??

If you do it with the engine in place it`s probably doable in two weekends. I pulled the engine because it had to be torn down completely, but it`s not necessary. Just much easier on an engine stand. First I`d look at the cam deviation values and cut apart the filter or even pull the sump to see how much plastic debris you have accumulated there.

OK..I shall start with that,.I have watched the filter every oil change and I don't see anything alarming But I have never pulled the sump plate, I even do random filter checks, But I still get that noise on a quick start,if I crank it over a couple times first and when it does start I don't really hear what I think is chain rattle noise but My Cam numbers are like 3.4 and 8.2 so I figure it must be that and that is why Iam trying to look at the guides B 4 I pull that engine Bc that noise make me crazy... Thanks for the info,.!!

I would install the revised pressure relief valve and spring while you're at it. Only takes 5 minutes.

I haven't seen anyone really comment on this but I would be curious to know if over time guys running the updated parts have less vc pad wear.
