Heardy 0 Posted November 13, 2005 I'm just in the process of changing the chains and tensioner's on my VR6 and i don't know weather to go for genuine chains or some from GSF.Are the one's from GSF going to be good quality ?also what about seal's and gasket's genuine or not?One other question what brand of sealer should i use on the timing chain cover's?

stevemac 0 Posted November 13, 2005 Gaskets will be fine - we (GSF) use OE manufacturers (either Elring or Reinz). Good idea to change the head bolts too. Not sure if we stock the timing chains. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 14, 2005 IIRC the chain gear is made by SACHs, so if the GSF ones are then they're OK to use. Pretty sure Stealth use them with no problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heardy 0 Posted November 14, 2005 GSF it is then!! What sort of gasket sealer is best to use on the chain cover's? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heardy 0 Posted November 14, 2005 I'll post some pic's up of my old tensioner when i've got it off,It's down to the rivet's !! other than that everthing okay,chain guide's are all intact(but i'm changing them anyway while it's stripped down) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted November 14, 2005 Vince told me he gets all the internal engine bits straight from VW, apart from the tappets. VW parts have a 2 year warranty for stuff like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heardy 0 Posted November 14, 2005 I'll compare the price's between GSF and VW and take it from there.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted November 15, 2005 Heardy, I may have to pick your brains in the next few months, when i finally get round to making a start on changing my clutch. Damn home improvements seen to be taking priority at the moment, the poor VR hasn't left my garage in 3 weeks :( Anyway, i'm gonna do the chains and tensioners while the gearbox is off...
