Thanks man I hope it does or else I'll be a very upset man!!

There was a tensioner on the old single row timing chain that put pressure on the chain. It was a little bananna looking thing with a spring on it. I don't need to put that back on now do I? It looks too small to do the big double row timing chain anyway?? And there was no slack on that chain believe me

i think the tensioner is there for when the chain starts to wear... i dont think it would be a problem but you might just need to keep a closer eye on your timing chain

You should have got a Different intercooler dude

[holden_4aw_lyfe]

i wish, probably a few months mate. i wanna do everyhting right and take my time, the last thing i want is for it to stuff up

 

[m1lky]

Better to do it right the first time ay. Do you have to get certification in ozzie?

 

[holden_4aw_lyfe]

I totally agree...yes you do mate

dont need a tensioner with double row timing chains. Also the plenum he said wont be an issue any spiral effect if theres even one is not harmful turbulence is harmful. Look like the Giacotto group a manifolds. Personally i think one like my mate i posted easlier in the thread would look be the best you could still run same cooler that wau aswell but having 2 coolers as my mate had going vertical would work better
