I wonder what they did wrong?

[Marco34]

Surely they wouldn't have used too much tension? Wonder if they replaced the tensioner... Bad news... hope they get it fixed good and proper. Do the valves collide with the pistons?

[rollapig]

I know that the valves and the valve runners have been replaced, dont think that they will change any pistons unless one is cracked .I think it was the bolt holding the tensioner on that sheared .I wonder if they will give me a warranty on all the extra work ?

Do the valves collide with the pistons?

Ohh yes, and sometimes it bends a rod. I always check the piston protrusion.
