pressure tensioners on '67?
So, are the any options to upgrade to pressure chain tensioners on my '67 911? Notice all the kits start with '68. I hear that rattling noise, so have parked it. Only about 10K miles on these, over 10 years. Seems early for these to fail...

Doug, I think you'd have to change the chain boxes to be able to upgrade your engine. It's not that big of a problem, it adds a bit more time to the job and the cost of the boxes (used from Parts Heaven should do). You'll need new gaskets, cam seal o-rings, and the other usual parts. If I'm not mistaken, the other parts will then fit.
First, you might want to pull the chain box covers and see what's happening. If you elect to not go the pressure-fed route, you might consider the Turbo tensioners with guards. You'll need to upgrade the chain sprocket rollers to late style or use the spacer, both easily available.
