Well as the title says I broke the chain tensioner on the right side by the cams. Can anyone give me some advice on how to go about fixing this? Whats involved, that sort of thing. Also this is on the 3.5 im putting in my 97. Thanks

 

use a 3.0 tensioner, it fits the same as the 3.5

 

Well thats easy enough, thanks.

 

I guess its not as easy as I thought. I tryed to swap the tensioner and it doesnt bolt up. The bolts on the 3.5 tensioner are farther apart. Any ideas?

 

Hmm... Maybe get a new 3.5 tensioner.

 

Well I thought the new tensioner was a given, what im asking is if theres any place online I could pick one up. Im sure the stealership will try and rape me on price. But any sugestions would be great. Thanks

These tensioners aren't that expensive, in the ballpark of 50 bucks up or down from the sdealer's.

The 3.0 tensioners should fit the 3.5's fine. Since you said you already tried that, are we talking about the same parts, now?

The intake and exhaust cam tensioner by the #4 cylinder. The one with the piston facing upward. Ill be giving my local dealer a call for a price tomorrow morning, then im gonna call the place i30krab suggested. I think I might have bought my transmission from that place in scottsdale last october, they had the best deal I could find and that was with shipping.
