I was curious as to how you can tell if the Timing Chain Tensioner has gone bad?
I pulled mine out, waiting on a replacement to put in. Also I did search. What I could find is that its uses oil pressure to help apply tension, so I'd assume that being clogged or something could cause it to fail.

Any other reason?
