Cant see anything of concern from the picture.

ok thanks for reply,another thing were the timming chain is that were the tensioners are that chain rapped around?

 

[Mursal]

The timing chain is around the sprockets that are on the end of the camshafts. You can see both camshafts running the length of the engine (lobes on them).

The chain pensioner will be down the run of the chain, somewhere between the top and the bottom of the engine. Cant see it from the top, unless you peep down alongside the chain.

This might help, have a look at a few when you get a chance. http://youtube.ng/watch?v=dTQquMGuHVw&feature=fvwrel
Just keep the oil change at the correct interval. Some people like to add an oil additive especially if the engine has high miles.


Consider a Haynes manual for the car, if you have the interest.

I've often wondered - how on earth did we change those plugs without a magnetic plug socket?
Nothing of alarm about the pic - probably best to use a new gasket though.

This is the best tool for changing spark plugs.
No burnt fingers and it's impossible to put it in on the wrong thread.
