There are just some days I wish I didn't turn wrenches

"Is everyone taking a vacation at the same time? I checked my preferences and nothing is changed and still no response notifications since yesterday at 4:30 pm. What gives?"

I posted this in "Site Comments & Feedback" and just now PM'ed a couple mods, @Fless and @soulsea, this problem.

Since the last thread I got a notification for at 4:52 pm, I have not gotten any notifications of responses on any of my threads I am involved in. Did I die and not know it?

For whatever reason it happens to a lot of us--including yours truly. Sometimes it's a few weeks before I realize I haven't gotten any notifications to a certain thread, then I have to look for it and play catch up.

I am getting them now. I got one about bumpers and now your notification. But that is it since yesterday around 5 pm here.

I spoke too soon. Now not getting any notifications again.

The write up and pics of the work on the 2010 FJ Cruiser 4.0 1GR-FE engine, is also on an FJ Cruiser Forum. One of the members there wanted a static measurement of the new hydraulic tensioner when the pin is pulled and the spring load takes up the slack when the plunger snaps out against the follower tensioner tab. I thought I would go ahead and post those pics here too.

The following pic are of another FJ Cruiser 4.0 engine that shows how far out the plunger can get when the chain is really stretched out:

Going to post a series of pics related to the reassembly of the new timing chain, followers, tensioners, timing cover, new oil pump, new water pump, all related seals...etc.
