i have replaced the timing cover and timing set and my chain snapped after 2 weeks of replacing it so i replaced the timing set again because the tensioner failed the first time now 2 weeks after the second swap my tensioner is not working any clues as what it could be i bought my timing set at autozone

 

engnbldr.com

he'll have you covered and help you better than autozone can

 

did you put it on the right way ? I have no idea ?

 

Upper and lower gears on the right direction??? top bolt in oil pump is the correct length not binding tensioner?? overtightening the tensioner distorting it?? a few ideas to start with.

 

I bought my chain and misc. parts from engnbldr.com

I'm about 6000 miles into it and all is well.

 

When you put the new chain on did you put on a new tensioner or did you leave the old tensioner with grooves in?

 

I'm about 40k since i did my timing chain install, i think. maybe 30k

 

Something must've been wrong man, I did mine with a company on ebay Full kit (timing cover, metal guides, gears, chain, oil pump, water pump ,and everything else) for under $200 and havent had a issue at all, and came with a warranty too!
