I've been running the euro formula advanced full synthetic from mobil 1 for the last 40k or so, so there really shouldn't be large deposits anywhere.
Mostly because I've already purchased the seafoam, I'll use it prior to the oil change so I can get it flushed out of the system with the change. I might pick some of the other stuff up and do another oil change in november after the mystery oil treatment.
So for now my plan is to install this tensioner and give the chain a good checking over with the valve cover off over the weekend. I looked into the tensioner swap and it's apparently very straight forward, so no harm in doing it I suppose
