What's this?

Postby Hachiroku » Tue Jun 21, 2005 11:57 pm

See the wee knobby-looking brass fitting on the left side of the front of the motor? My 2t-geu is leaking oil from there. Is it a timing chain tensioner or something else? What's the go with removing it to replace the washer/gasket?

Yup, its the timing chain tensioner.

You can just unscrew it to take it out, but its' in 2 pieces, make sure you undo the whole thing (Pretty sure its a 17mm, keeping the stopper nut in the right place to keep tension the same) then just whack a new washer/gasket in it, I just used the old washer and a bit of good ol' RTV. :D

Out of curiosity, what car is this in?
