Re: Cam Chain Tensioner & Bearing Swap.

I inspected the shoes at about 35,000 miles on the 02...they were in great shape. Finally put in new cams with the gears at just under 60,000 miles...the shoes were still in usable condition..better than some you've shown with lower miles. Maybe this was just the luck of the draw?
