Well Ken,
I think for the most part, you ae correct. The BIGGER problem is the belt tentioners. At 120,000 miles, you will "need" to change them ! If you can spin them (with the belt off), they are shot! Last year, I saw a '97 that the tentioners had failed and came out thru the front cover and into the radiator. Damage to the engine it's self, was only replaceable plastic parts. Damage to the fan and radiator was total ! Many tentioners are gone long before 100,000 miles and just waiting to fail. Bruce RED '91 |

I don't think that is the answer. If you hold the tentioner in your hand
by the center, you will find that you can wiggle the "main" outside part. That means the bearing is warn out. (and the bearing is ready to fail) The one that came out of my '91 at 120,000, was clean and no real sign of lub on the outside of the bearing. As long as you have the belt assembly. apart, you should just replace the tentioners. "And the water pump !" (it's cheap insurance) Bruce RED '91 |
