Yeah i did use a torque wrench installing the bolts. THe tensioner bolts are only supposed to be around 12 lbs. Also, i thought at first that i may have had one of the bolts for the oil pump in the wrong place, but i went back and checked and they're all in the right spots. There is a little wear on the timing cover, but its where the guides broke the first time.


>>>*Be sure and check the oil pan for debris. When one of these assemblies fails there is normally a lot of material in the pan, that can get pounded into very small particles and it will end up inside the tensioner and cause it to be sticky.

Another possible is lower than normal oil pressure, also but debris/silicone/swarf is the #1 cause of tensioner failure....*EB
