Description of the problem | While driving at highway speed the vehicle made a pop sound and lost power. I was forced off the highway as there were no shoulders and had to push the vehicle across traffic to safety. The timing chain tensioner failed, resulting in the timing chain breaking. This resulted in damage to the upper portion of the motor, including all intake and exhaust valves, marring on the pistons and cracked heads. |
