Wickmyster 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2012 I am after a lowish k m42 for my 36 coupe as it would be cheaper than doing the camchain kit atm, but I will rebuild the original engine eventually. I am in Tauranga, but know of a coupe cheap transporters, but closer to home better for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wickmyster 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2012 You sure it just doesn't need a new tensioner plunger ??? 298,000ks on the orignal ;D I will do the tensioner and see if it gets rid og the 3-4000rpm rattle and pull off the rockercover and inspect the teeth soon. But I would like to do it all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
