Known Issues
|
Cam Chain Tensioner Wear:
|
Early models (pre-2007) are known for wear on the hydraulic cam chain tensioners, which can lead to engine noise and potential damage. The manual will detail inspection and replacement procedures.
|
Crankshaft Runout:
|
While less common on this specific model year, crankshaft runout is a critical factor. The manual provides specifications and inspection methods.
|
Electrical Connectors:
|
Corrosion or loose connections in electrical connectors can cause intermittent issues. The manual's wiring diagrams are crucial for diagnosis.
