Make sure you find the tech bulletin that tells you which diety to pray 
to, in order to ward off a failure of said mechanical tensioner.

I checked the timing on my new 164S this morning...  The rear bank was 1 
tooth off, so I pulled the mechanical tensioner.   Sure enough it had a 
broken outer spring, exactly like the one I removed from my Verde in 
July.

It's static tensioners for all my V6s.

PS: Anyone have an old hydrualic tensioner they'd like to sell?
