Cam chain tensioner upgrade
07/10/13 at 12:27:35

I'm putting together a list of stuff I will need for this.

verslavy, ordering from verslagen1
oil filters, ordered
clutch cover gasket, ordered
exhaust gasket, ordered
new heat shield, ordered
oil - Rotella T, pickup locally

Anything I have missed so far? Is there a gasket for the oil filter cover?

I have metric sockets and wrenches from my VW days.

One seals the filter and the other one the filter cover. Chances are you can re-use these once or twice.

Snap ring pliers if yours has an external snap ring instead of an e/c clip type retaining ring. I've seen both styles used on Savage engines... My 98 has a little external snap ring, opens to remove.
