Hi All,

I was tempted to post this to the parts alias, but the problem and discussion seem better suited to the 930 alias.

Found the cause of the awful grovelling and banging that comes from my car when its cold. I thought it was lose metal in the muffler but its not...

Banging and thumping is coming from the left timing cover.

This is a '79 turbo that doesn't have pressure fed tensioners.

Mech checked on line, those kits cost a lot more than they used to - >$900 - where last I checked (in 1999) they were lots less.

Wondering if I could/should save a bunch by putting together a package here?

Or should I just get a couple of slip-prevention collars?

Until the covers are off we won't know the true damage but given the slapping its gunna be a grind fest. Good idea to upgrade to pressure fed while we're in there?

So... I know the parts are out there. What all do I need to upgrade the 930 to pressure fed tensioners?

left chain cover (930-105-063-01-OEM)
right chain cover (930-105-064-02-OEM)
2 pressure fed tensioners
oil feed lines
sprocket wheel spacers
timing chains (master link?)
hollow bolt
gaskets
bunch of nylocks

Pricing it out seems I can save a bunch if I can find used tensioners, then finding those chain covers.

Seem reasonable? Am I missing something?

Cars going under the knife on the 3rd so I need the parts soon.

Thanks,
Eric
