Title: timing chain tensioner
Post by: E30choa on October 06, 2009, 07:09:56 PM

so im about to replace the tensioner for the timing chain and i was looking up some threads and saw that the m44 tensioner was better and more durable then the m42 tensioner, even though i got a m42 should i get the m44 tensioner?

thanks

The M44 tensioner replaced the M42 tensioner in most catalogs. Cross refference the PN. I bet you have the M44 part.
