22re timing chain
what is your opinion on the guides used with the timing chain? OE Toyota uses plastic and some people say that the plastic guides are a failsafe method to let you know when your timing chain needs to be replaced. Others say that it was just a way to cut costs for Toyota (same reason for using single row chain rather than double) and that aftermarket metal guides (which were OE on the early 80s 22r engines) are the better alternative.
What's your opinion???
