WTB: Carrera Oil Fed Tensioner Kit or Pieces
I'm paying a shop. I'd honestly love to do this myself but I don't think I have time right now to bone up on everything I'd need to know. I found the pelican guide, but it sounds advanced to me. (Set timing?)
At this point in this cars short ownership some DIY would make the wife very happy.
Any mechanically able folks in the seattle area that would supervise? I've got a grill... great nw beer? |
Wise to have a shop do it it you're not up to speed on the process. Really not that difficult, but get the valve timing wrong and you could have a catastrophe on your hands (BTDT once, and only once, many moons ago with my 911T when I over-confident and stupid...can you say young with still raging hormones?). Bent a $75 sodium filled exhaust valve when the piston kissed it, and had to go through all the trouble to pull the head and replace the guide as well.
For some reason I thought that all 930's had pressure fed tensioners. If not, what year did they become standard?
