Please excuse my typos..

In my first post on this thread I referred to "timing chain failures", I intended to inquire about the timing chain tensioner. I probably should not have typed my initial post while on the phone with the vice president of my company.

A few things came up and I did not have a chance to get an work done this past weekend. The noises that I am experiencing only occur with a cold start and they go stop when my oil pressure gauge starts moving up (2-4 seconds). Warm starts later in the day are just fine, so I'm still thinking one (or more) of the cam followers might be leaking down.

I will try and get the job done this weekend. On another note ... I should have checked the Fastlane price before buying the cam followers locally, I would have saved almost $10.00 each. I hope I can return the ones I have.
