[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1049413, member: 74901"] To get 300kMiles+, you've obviously done good with routine Oil+Filter changes. Never a guarantee on breaking bolts & such; could happen working on any thing new or old. To change the 2 OilPressurized TimingTensioners, you do NOT need to pull the engine; likely a 2~3hr job for a first timer, including changing the Oil+Filter afterward. Your 2002 should have same ThrottleBody+IntakeManifold arrangement as my late year 2001 Job2; best off to remove ThrottleBody & IntakeManifold & possibly one of the TempSensors, to get reasonable access to the LeftFront Tensioner. RightRear Tensioner is got at thru Right WheelWell.
