Yeah, I was able to go to a friendly parts guy at the dealer, gave me a couple, not sure if it will fit, but ill try. I def feel 1/4'' of slack, i was pushing it down when i was changing the valve gasket (which by the way was hard like plastic!)

20W 50 wasn't cutting it, so that is why we went to Lucas

To play their advocate, in the case of my brother's 87 Mercury grand marquis, it had a serious rod knock, and he used the Lucas oil. The car ran until the body around it rot Just sayin

that is true, althoug I am already tight for money. I will take a drive to the dealer and see Do ya'l think an autozone liek store might carry them?

I guess I will take a ride to the dealer...omethign tells me that it doesn't come separate and that I have to buy the whole coil Where can I find this tensioner? and how easy is it to replace?

interesting read i stumbled on

This is what I am talking about

In adition, does anyone know how much play you can have in a timing chain?

I just got done replacing the valve cover gasket on my yota, and the rubber grommet that goes between the coil on plug and engine fell behidn the engine...and I couldn't find it.....at all! Thing was, it was getting dark and I needed to wrap it up. Everythign is back on the car except that...

Right I know there is a sweet spot in the c ring that you have to find once you spin the half shaft, in order to get it into place

didn't know you had to adjust valves in these newer cars

HAHAH Same here. I drive about 600 miles a week, so yeah a quart a week And this mileage is a corolla with NO OVERDRIVE

I am in the same boat as you It's ashame cause I am getting 34-36 mpg. If what I am doing isn't working (flushing, powerfoam, amsoil) I am just going to run this thign to the ground. In the mean time ill put in 10w40, Lucas, etc

but what would a bent spindle do to contribute to the halfshaft making that annoying clicking noise? Well in order for the halfshaft to go into that groove in the tranny, don't you have to turn it until it pops in?

1) it sounds like it is coming from the CV's (it's now happening when im turning left and right 2) I replaced the entire shaft...TWICE 3) What do you mean by this? The spindle on the halfshaft? I removed the lower balljoint and fihsed the halfshaft into place 4) what do you mean by turning the...
