hydraulic chain tensioners - sound like a leading question!?

Would you expect your engine note to sound different having changed from standard tensioners to Carrera ones?
More whiney?

In a word no!

Sound like the new tensioners are running the chains tighter, hence the whiney noise.

What is correct? Who knows! :) Sorry for the unhelpful advice :wink:

Hello there.

No ....I must express some concern here..

I would first turn the engine over by hand, you may have a shock with what you hear from the chain boxes...

I'd take it back to the rebuilder pdq .....

Kind regards, and good luck.
