    How to ID chain tensioner upgrade on 2.2?

    As a previous SC owner I am a little ignorant about these earlier motors. Does this look like the chain tensioner upgrade?

    tensioner upgrade

    your picture isn't really aimed at the right area, but I think there is just enough to see that it doesn't have the upgrade. There doesn't seem to be the small pipe going to the tensioner.

    Ed,

    While he clearly does not have the upgrade to Carrera Tensioners, short of remvong the chain box covers, I suppose there is no way to verify if he has the later sealed "turbo" tensioners vs the earlier version that came on the car new.
