Sonny's Weak M10 Build

No need to remove the cover for the tensioner spring. What are you bleeding?

Am I getting the wrong idea? Is it simply unscrew old and screw in new tensioner?

The chain tensioner is easy it's the chain guide that is daunting.

I was planning to remove the timing cover in order to bleed it does that need to be done for a new tensioner? Thanks!

Edit: my chain guides are like new when I did my valve adjustment.

So far the fun is just starting.

Gold tape, Velcro on the fire extinguisher. Your going down a dark path if rice.

Also I am doing the water pump, thermostat, all fan belts, timing chain tensioner tonight , no rice at all I hate that, I have the quietest exhaust around and tint as dark as my complexion so that people don't see a newbie driving around

Did you velcro it?

Yes , it's perfect! Home Depot about $20 everything. The extinguisher comes fired with a plastic bracket already so I out Velcro on its flat side.


Going to use springs to reinforce my fuel lines on there bends.


You only need one piece of that velcro. It comes in packs of 2, going to use the rest to Velcro my small basket of extra oil/antifreeze from sliding in the trunk.

There is no oem jackstand. I use the one legged bandit (aka oem jack) and support with a jackstand if possible.

Yes autocorrect, sorry that's what I meant I don't trust it as some recommend a "quality" jack but I can't find examples small enough to fit. so just keep in rolling with the OEM and throw a jack stand in ? Sweet!

[glnr13]

I have all the mentioned at home of course and I don't trust a jack stand OEM that's why I went on the curb which one do you carry in your car?
