Re: Timing Belt Tensioner Failure
i didnt say do what i did.. duralast is just ok.. mitsubishi is beter..
i risk more.. depends what you want.. i risk bending my valve again ... but i keep up on maintanence.. I dont want to give you a bad advice
. proper thing is replace oem belt( or better quality) and oem tensioner... i just stated what i did, and how long it lasted.. but i accept the risk on my own car.. i watch it..
but you never know, just like the cam bolt i got to pay sometimes for it )
