I remember reading on Perry951's website that one of his rollers were installed backwards by a P.O., leading to several bouts of bent valves. Take a look and see what you find.
Good luck.
Good luck.

I'm having them replace both cam chain tensioner pads while they're in there, anything else I should have them look at?

Also, have the valve guides checked. This would have nothing to do with the belt issue, but I'm willing the bet at least the exhaust guides are worn. How old are the oil cooler seals?

Forget the pads, get a new tensioner. If this is what you meant, nevermind.

I've never heard of tensioner failure, just the pads.
I'd be wondering about mechanic # 2 as well. He thinks the teeth on the crank pulley might be too sharp? Huh?

You can only buy the upper pad not the lower. You need the entire tensioner assembly to get the lower pad.
Zims has the upper pad for $25 but the PO of my car said he got them from the dealer for $2 or $3.
