Package arrived yesterday and it was from Kurt White Racing. I had no idea but he sent me a complete tensioner unit, original GM! John offered and Kurt responded so it sure is great to have people like them in this madness.
Now to find the time to disect this rascal.........

Hans,
I have been a bit tied up as my dad is dying and I'm not doing anything but comforting him right now. I'll be back in the saddle when all is over. I have had 2 people interested in funding this project but no one has pulled the trigger yet.
Hang in there as this WILL happen in the near future.

Wow Carter, sorry to hear of your situation. I've been exactly there myself. It's very difficult but you do what you have to do in life.

Carter,

Went through this with my mother earlier this year. In fact, have lost 4 loved ones in the last 2 years. The only solace is that you would rather see them go than continue with their suffering.

Hi...also my 90 zr1 begin the chain rattle when start up...it has about 26k miles...i have some questions....
- if i buy the jerrys gasket housing i can use my original tensioner (old)?
- it's an easy job change the housing?
- need regulation when installed?

Thank you so much in advance

Tensioner can be reused BUT, you must follow direction that came with the new housing. A customer chose not to and ended up with a broken camshaft & bent valve.

WOW...great info...i'm not a mechanic and this info is very important...but there are regulation to do or is plug and play? There is a sheet with installation guide?
It's an easy job or must disassemble a lot of parts?

Yes, there is an installation guide directions included with the new housing. The procedure to reset the Tensioner to transport mode, is not included, but can be furnished if requested, or you can send them to Jerrys Gaskets.
Here is a link for that service. https://www.jerrysgaskets.com/second...-re-set-90-95/

Easy? Depends on your skills & knowledge of the parts relationship & comprehension of the instructions. Easy for some is hard for others.

Here is a link to the instructions which are photos 2 & 3.
