What did you do to your E-Type today? (Part 1)

How did the debris make it past the filter to the crank bearings?

There was a thread about this last year. Apparently the best brand to look for is Renold but it doesn’t have a 100% perfect record either. Rolon has many well known failures though

Chain tensioner failure

Hi Derek, per my above post the picture below is the one I used. It’s a french made Reynold - sold by my local Jaguar dealer in Blakehurst NSW. Note the returns on the slipper foot. Others may have different ideas. Regards, Paul[renoldtimingchaintensioner]
