You'll be looking at around $250 or so for the tensioner and rail guides, haven't bought a chain recently so I'm not sure on that price. The labour will be a killer on them though Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/52350-vibrationrattle-at-2000-2400rpm/page/3/#findComment-788330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
