alright, im trying to get this damn car ready for the meet on sunday, just when i thought i had it i was wrong.. i bought a 60k for a 92 3000 sl, got a GOOD 3sx tensioner not a shitty advance tensioner.
when i time the car it holds fine, even when i spin the crank by hand it holds fine, but when i start the car the tensioner i guess you could say loses tension. i figured i got a bad tensioner so put the old back one, that was holding perfect tension, an it did the same exact thing.
i was lucky, no bent valves. im not doing anything any differently than the dozens of 60k ive done before.
I dont know what it could be, i need help if i want to make it to the meet.
thanks guys
heres a pic of what the tensioner looks like after the cars been started an ran for about 30 sec.
