Parts you dont need...?

I drive a black E36 BMW 4 door. Um Yeah if you want to meet up, or know of a meet, I am always down, usually just chilling at the house since i moved up here a month ago.

I was always told that they melt down and off to prevent under hood fires, kind of like putting a lid on a burning pot.

I like those chain guides, if they are breaking/wearing like that you probably have a stretched/worn timing chain or loose tensioner. Take the valve cover back off and look at the underside of it where the tensioner was. It might be getting chewed.

And I will take my renault with an SR thank you.
