CHAIN TENSIONERS AND GUIDES

Updated chain tensioner RH
New style chain tensioner
RH Chain Tensioner housing
Upgraded chain tensioner housing impressions
Upgraded LH chain tensioner housing

It will appear in Craig's photos that the two aluminum pieces do NOT fit together.....but in fact they do...one piece is just farther away from the camera

I could see that the new part number comes with two piece aluminum housing so I spent the bucks and got one before dropping this fresh built 350 LT5 back in.
