Can Anyone tell me how bad these are?
A few weeks ago when I was replacing the coil,I decide to check to see if my tensioners had been replaced from the previous owner. They weren't so I ordered some and did them today. They were both cracked but not sure how close it was before they let go. The one on the right bank was the worst. If anyone has any experience in this area would like to know how long before it was toast if I hadn't changed them. Thanks

I heard that when you start the car ,if you had the plastic tensioners you would hear a noise.When I got it about 8 months ago it sounded OK so I just assumed ( I know, assume nothing) it was already done. I've been chasing bad coils and the RP coding since I got the car.When changing,swaping and replacing coils I noticed my gaskets were gone on the covers so I ordered the gaskets and changed one about two weeks ago, when I took the cover off low and behold I saw I had the plastics ones so I ordered the new ones and changed them today. From what everyone has been saying,I guess I lucked out. Thanks guys.
