The P/O put in a new timing gear kit but used the one with plastic guides..three months ago.Will this last 80-100 thousand miles,or less?


>>>*We see them come in consistantly broken at around 125,000 miles, some last far longer though. Rarely far less, in those cases the engine is having a bit of a rough life. Those that seem to last forever are almost always highway vehicles driven long distances daily.

It isn't the guide that is the problem though, it is the tensioner nearly without fail. Once it begins to leak down, the guide isn't long for the world....*EB
