TODA timing chain tensioner and Timing chain
#11
Hi guys,
I took the plunge and bought the TODA one. I was In need of a new one anyway having sandblasted my old one and it returned itself to buzz after about 5000 miles.
At first glance the only difference is Toda Racing printed on the casing. I took it apart alongside the OEM and all parts appear to be the same, worm gear doesnt look any different, springs are the same. Thought hey ho... worth a go.... HOWEVER.... went to install it and upon removing the maintenance bolt and putting the oil bolt in the difference became apparant. The TODA's oil bolt is recessed into the hole by about 5-7mm(OEM is flush). A modification that im sure anyone with decent machine tools could carry out. All oil ways seem to be the same size as OEM.
I can only assume that in reducing the volume of oil on the piston side of the oil bolt, you are increasing the pressure... anyone confirm?
Car sounds fine. Puts this question to bed anyway!
