Re: [Dodge Ram 50 Truck Owners] Probably a long shot....


   I'll look to see if I have the bolt, and any of the other items, but the
chain guides are
 replaceable items. Some engine rebuilders have guide kits available.

If anyone can help, I am needing the shanked bolt that holds the top of
the balance shaft chain tensioner in place. Mine snapped.



Also, but not quite as important, i need the the balance shaft chain
tensioner/guide, the right side(looking at the engine) timing chain guide, and
possibly the timing chain tensioner/plunger.



If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Better off just buying a tensioner kit (w/chain, guides AND the notorious bolt). When I ordered a timing chain/tensioner rebuild kit, the kit already contained...
