Terry:
Thanks for the quick response. I have a few questions:
- What is a finger follower?
- What is a hyd lash adjuster? Does hyd stand for hydraulic?
- What is t/chan tensioner /lash?
- Are any of these problems serious (like it can ruin the engine)?
- Are they simple fixes?
Sorry for all of the questions, but I am an amateur wanna-be mechanic trying to learn the trade.
