2001 Grand Virtara XL7 timing chain questions
 
I just purchased a 2001 Grand Virtara XL7 that was known to have a bad water pump. Reading here on this forum I also learned that the #1 tensioner on the main timing chain is a common problem. So I thought while I had the front cover off it would be a good time to replace that. I ordered the tensioner before I got the cover off (this past Monday). Well Tuesday I finished up getting every thing apart... the main chain where the #1 tensioner is very tight. up on the middle of the motor where it looks like just a idler gear pulley is very loose... There is also a small chain on the bottom right (looking at the motor from the front) that is really loose.?.?.?. how do I tell the tolerances? I bought this car to fix and sell... but do not want to have my name attached to a ticking time bomb...

If I need to I can take a video and post it up here to show you what I am talking about....

Thanks for the help guys...
