i got a timing chain kit from gm for my 2005 ecotec, and it came with a new hydraulic tensioner
From what i have read these need to be primed correct? How do you go about priming it? thanks
running rich? turn the boost up
Unplug the module and injector wiring harness, and crank the car over with fresh oil in it. Do it about 5 times for about 30 seconds each. That should be enough to prime the tensioner.
Currently #4 in Ecotec Forced Induction horsepower ratings. 505.8 WHP 414WTQ!!!
Currently 3rd quickest Ecotec on the .org - 10.949 @ 131.50 MPH!!!
thanks roofy! i read somewhere to cover it in oil and pull and push the piston until the air is out, does that sound correct? the motor is out of the car if that means anything
running rich? turn the boost up
If its new it should be set you just put it in and give a little push on the guide and it will pop out and your done.
