Default Tensioner Job Completed

I just completed switching out the secondary tensioners. Using the zip tie method was not a very difficult job. The original tensioners did not look bad at all. No wear or cracks anywhere. Actually, I was a little surprised that they looked so good. Car runs as smooth as it did prior to the replacement and there are no extra sounds. I originally bought the entire kit but just decided to replace the tensioners and seals/gaskets myself. If anyone wants to buy the chains and guides let me know. I will get rid of them for cheap even though they are brand new. The tips mentioned in the forums were very helpful from how to deal with the oil dipstick to priming the tensioners by removing the fuel pump fuse. Thanks.
