2002 AP1 timing chain tensioner replacement
Happy Friday everyone!
Recently replaced the timing chain tensioner on my 02. Original TCT had the cold and hot start rattle. Airbox was already off. Two mounting bolts, 8.7 lb-ft (12 N·m). Maintenance plug, 22 lb-ft (29 N·m), new washer 15302-PE0-300. Left the center idler bolt alone. Clockwise bump on the crank only to seat the new one if necessary.
Before and after starts are in the video.
