On a side note, I have a ticking in my engine and I checked the arcive posts and Ive found the problem. Its the timing belt tensioner. Now, how would I fix that and how much would it cost and how long would it take??


Are you sure it is the tensioner? It is VERY common to have a tick from the hydraulic lifters. You can switch to 0W30 oil, and also try a variety of engine cleaners(Sea Foam, Gunk motor Flush, ATF) That can also help with the ticking. Mine still ticks even after going through a few different experiments. No worries though, as it runs like a champ.

Just look into the lifter tick before tearing into your engine to get the tensioner.
