[QUOTE="Don Bailey, post: 1009041, member: 70124"] Got some more specifics from the rebuilder. The left hand tensioner that failed is up by or on the head and they said it could have reasonably been missed by the visual inspection made by the dealer. I'm still not convinced that with the clattering noise it was making that the dealer shouldn't have looked specifically for that before they said it was internal to the engine and needed an engine replacement. Gonna take it back to them Monday and have them check the tensioner(s) to see if that's also what the problem is with this one. Rebuilder says its only a 1.2 hour job to R&R a tensioner. [/QUOTE]
