[QUOTE="radman, post: 546141, member: 167"] Been sloppy on the oil changes? Unless you have unusual wear (can be seen on the guides with vlv cover off) then I would say go with just a tensioner and see how it goes. There are at least several motors out there well in excess of 150k that are, IIRC, still running original chains and guides, but not necessarily original tensioners. As for the charge, they will get what they get. Don't know the flat rate on the job, but it's not a easy task getting at the rails, the hardest part I believe. [/QUOTE]
