Default Suggestion on Japanese? Timing kit for new xkr 2000 owner.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Not sure if tensioners and guides have been upgraded but biting the bullet at 110k miles anyways.

Thanks in advance!.

あの、何の日本語の提案を欲しいしますか。

As for the tensioners, first pull a valve cover and look at the chain tensioner, if the entire body is plastic, you need to upgrade them ASAP or risk catastrophic engine failure. If they are the metal bodied 3rd generation tensioners you’re good to go.


I can’t help you with a kit as I have never had to deal with that.

Thanks for the reply! Guessing I still need a solid kit vendor.

I'm afraid that I don't understand the reference to "Japanese". I guess that you mean a quality kit vendor?

Once you've checked the tensioners as advised by giandaniel, you might not need any kit at all. I suspect that you will find that you already have the all-metal tensioners.

Is the OP in Japan? Otherwise I also don't understand the reference.

I also didn't understand what he meant, which is why I asked him about it in Japanese. That he didn't reply to the specific Japanese text I wrote tells me that the Japanese part of the title must have been an auto-correct typo or something.
