Engine + Driveline / Sloppy chain noises after new chain tensioner

« on: June 01, 2008, 01:29:12 PM »

OK my part number is 11 31 1 743 187.

The M44 one is 11 31 1 743 187, so it seems I already have one.  Oh well.

Sure that would be nice if I could just band aid it for this season's autoX.  Let me know man, I'll have paypal waiting.

Shit if thats the case I'll just run this motor down this year and throw in an M50 for about as much as it would cost to fix this motor.

I replaced the chain tensioner over a month ago and I still have chain slop between 2,000-3,500 rpms (most audible at that range) and I am assuming the guides are worn out or worse, the chain is worn out.  I've been reading the Bentley and have an idea what I might be getting into but wanted to hear from others.

What is most likely the cause of the slop?  How bad can this fix be?

I'd rather just throw in a Walbro, half the price and twice the capacity.

Already did the fuel filter.

What model Walbro can I throw in the tank?

Oh and the fuel guage moves around more then I think it should.  Sometimes goes from 3/4 to half to 3/4.

No leaks and that tube seems to be fine.  

The ECU isn't throwing any codes.  

The throttle response is great, revs nice, just sucks at WOT at high rpms and when I take a hard right hand turn.

Let me start of by saying who ever worked on this car before I owned it completely screwed just about everything up on the car, most of which I have fixed or am fixing at this moment.  I replaced the transfer pipe on the tank since it was crimped in two spots which I thought would have fixed the fueling cut out issues when turning right but as of today it's back (haven't driven it that hard up until today).  Not sure what would be causing this since that tube has been replaced and seems to be flowing well.

My other problem is the motor seems to pull a bunch of timing on WOT runs at high rpms.  Normally below 4,000 rpms its great then it starts pulling timing and eventually stops accelerating up near 5,000 rpms.  It doesn't do this everytime but it does it so much that I just don't drive it fast.  I think it might be bad gas but I added Sunoco 94 to the half a tank of Shell 93 (which locally is bad gas apparently) and it seems to do it about the same.

Haven't checked the fuel pressure yet, but I think thats where I will go next.  I do believe this motor is chipped but I am not sure what chip it has.

Things I have replaced that could be related to all of this.

transfer pipe on tank
fuel filter
spark plugs
ran seafoam through the gas



So any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
