Well, let me put it this way, I haven't ordered any parts yet. I wanted to wait until I have everything taken apart to determine what I need.

Interesting concept about the guides failing being a result of a bad tensioner. I will say I was surprised at how good the guides look. Once I get the lower timing cover off, I'll be able to inspect them more closely. But for piece of mind, I suspect I will end up replacing them.
