First you need to know exactly what is needed. Could be the tensioner just needs activating.

It is 5 hour flat rate, check eBay, gaskets are separate. Usually don't need sprockets, some include water pump

Many shops will not guarantee the repair unless you let them procure the parts.

You cannot see the tensioner by removing the valve cover, you can only check if the chain is loose.

Ok, so we’re done , it was nothing at all. Don’t forget to tell when something breaks and takes your engine out to lunch.

Do it very soon and stop driving the car, the front guide could fail and damage the valves, is what I meant.


And


I don’t want you to damage your engine, that’s all
