Does the timing chain still have tension?

iirc the newer chain tensioners are oil pressure activated and ratcheting... so they'd take up any slack.. so yeah, you may want to check that the teeth on the tensioner are not worn off.. but i still sniff a mis-shift.

not as much a problem as a slight source of amusement to me.. because most of the 'knowledge' on this forum orbits around what offset wheel you can run without rubbing and what weight of oil you can/cannot run...

so a question about bent valves being asked here where the OLDEST yaris on the forum (US, anyway) is approaching 3yrs old.

probably because any talk of STREET RACING or ripping around the twisties with a new part installed is off limits....
