Hello everyone,
> I'm new to the list and am posting my first set of questions. Here goes...
>
> I have a 1968 SPL converted to a U20 w/5 speed and it is making
> some upper timing chain noise. I pulled the valve cover and can see
> that the upper chain was cutting into the "L" bracket on the chain
> guide and that the chain is also just starting to cut into the bolt head
> holding on the chain guide. I cut off the "L" bracket as I heard that
> this is one item that can fail with catastophic results. The gears
> look O.K. as does the tensioner. The questions are, how can you
> tell if the tensioner is bad? At what point do I need to replace the
> upper chain and tensioner? Or should I replace both now?

> Thanks in advance,
