Hey guys I am looking at 91 318i for a DD. It is going for $600 but it needs a new tensionner. My question is how long can you drvie on a bum tensionner before it will damage the rest of the components. I am hoping to just swap in a new tensioner and drive it. I don't want to get involved in changing all the guides and chain. Thanks very much

Just put in a new tensioner. Cheap insurance. An entire timing rebuild costs $450. I did it after 200k miles on the car. they can go longer than that depending on the tensioner and the driver. -
Put an m44 tensioner in there.what you did to this car is like getting a supermodel naked and willing to do anything you please. now here you are faced with ths once in a lifetime opportunity and then you squander it by making her fuck you in the butt with a 24" strap on. you are a sad, silly little boy.Comment

^^ I don't think they even make the M42 one anymore. All of the part numbers were updated to the new design.Comment
