winter jobs

[pomm001]

I am looking to do some preventative maintenance jobs over the winter and would aprechiate some advise
my 02 adventure has approx 25 k miles and overmaintained, i was thinking that maybe i should replace the timing chains and tensioners over the winter.
They are not particualy noisey but from reading posts here maybe worth doing.
If so, chains and auto tensioners ? just chains ? genuine or pattern ? where from.
Could Steptoe advise ?

thanks

You could drop the upgraded tensioner in, not really a winter job, only takes half an hour or so.

You'd better get your polish out

You'd be wasting your time and money doing those jobs.

May possibly be worth doing if you had over 150K miles, even then you might still be wasting your time
