Replacing Chain Guides 91 VH45DE

[Ezekial]

I know i need to replace them.

But can anyone give me a list of which ones have to be replaced?

And if possible a part number for each guide?

Im in australia so part numbers are a big help!!

Check the previous posts by doing a search. I would get the oil pump drive chain if I were you, maybe even the tensioners. Chains are usually good for 200K+ miiles if timely oil and filter changes performed.

Check out Q45.org

Is this for real?

I cant see why i would need any of the ones that arent bolded!?

And perhaps the oil pump chain if its got too much slack

I think the updated guide are a different length.

[Ezekial]

More than half of those part numbers come up as DO NO EXIST or NO LONGER AVAILABLE or DISCONTINUED

[Ezekial]

Here was one of the numbers that came up

2x 13085-60U01 - chain guide

This was the listed price for the USA boys i assume $13.18

And this is the australian price

$62.80

Now i know the exchange rate will make it a bit more but not 5 times the price

Some part numbers are superseded, I am sure.

See if you can send Joe the funds and wait for a shipment.

[Ezekial]

Yesterday I received notice from IOS that:

"The part number 01121-04711 had been discontinued and is now tagged "out of production" and I can no longer receive this part and I will be giving you a refund for those two bolts."

Is there a workaround for this situation?

[elwesso]

I have to imagine mcmaster-carr would have something that would work.

Thanks Lino –

I'm just following some older threads on the part numbers and going to IOS for kit.

Could it be one of those parts that were superseded with a new number?

That seems to have happened some with the older diagrams.

I just returned from NYC and PA (Pocono Mtns) trying to catch up here..

[elwesso]

if there was any supersession, it would automatically show when the guys at IOS typed it in.

[OwnerCS]

Here's the scoop from IOS and Wes. The part is a common 10mm bolt -- available at many hardware stores. So I'll pick some up at local Fastenal store.

When I get the "big box of parts" in for this job, I'll make a bunch pictures so we can show what the bagged/tagged parts look like. I see where Tangalora once posted some pictures that are appearing as a red x when I try to browse from the threads.

With all the work your doing I just hope you remember how to put it all back together...Just kidding

Seeing you do all this inspires me and I hope inspires all the other Q45 owners out there!

The only thing that sucks about the guides is trying to do it fast.. If you could spread out a guide job over a week or so it would make it a lot easier..
