Tensioner bolt hole leaks oil.

[SmokeyGST]

I read through the search on this, and found some people had a problem with the bottom tensioner bolt for the timing belt leaking oil. I now have this problem and was wondering if i needed to do anything special to prevent this from leaking. I was thinking of hylomar on the sides of the tensioner to act as a chemical washer.

RTFM

The book even has a picture of adding some mitsu. grey on the tensioner bolt thread/shanks for PROPER INSTALLATION.

Use half-assed manuals for maint. and your maint. will be half-assed.

USE / GREY or Approved "The Right Stuff"......don't use any old RTV or you will be doing it again. Same with the oil pan.
