Chain tensioner rebuild kit part number?
 

Anyone have the part number for the pre-Carrera tensioner rebuild kit from the dealer handy? Thanks.

Also, what kind of oil do I use to refill them? Motor oil? Olive oil? Baby oil?

NLA, IIRC ...

I was afraid that would be the case :(

Pelican doesn't carry the kit but one of the other "PP" sites have a "tensioner repair kit" for $27, anybody tried it? I'll contact them tomorrow but would like to know whether my only option is to put in the Carrera tensioners. It's just that $$$ is tight now.

If I remember there wasn't much diff. between the Carrera setup and just replacing the stock tentioners. Did you inspect and find a failing tentioner?

Call Jimmy Deering at Mobile Works East 916-420-8774 He knows where to find them. He just rebuilt my early ones not too long ago.

911 105 901 00 Still avalable from Porsche as of Wednesday last week.

Edit - and you fill them with engine oil.

Superceded to 911.105.901.01 ... NLA from Pelican

BTW, in 1979 ... I rebuilt a collapsed tensioner with three locally-obtained O-rings ... #13, #20, & #21 below. It lasted just fine for the three months that the replacement tensioners were on back order from Germany!

Thanks, Guy! I'll phone the dealer tomorrow.

Warren, are OR 8,3 - 2,4 and such the specs for the o-rings that I can give to a local shop (if I can find one!) for the right stuff?
