I dont' know about the tensioner slide, but to remove the other one
you have to pull the front cover, and that really means pulling the
head since the head gasket seals the front cover to the front of the
head. No need to replace them if they are not badly worn, though,
and the 603 doesn't wear guides much.

What about tensioner rail, and the guiding rail down near the

Rusty sent is the upper guide rail.

Me, too, but what's all this "talk" 'bout just running a new chain in
behind
the old one. What do I REALLY need? Chain, tensioner and
guides? How
many guides? Rusty sent chain and one short guide. Did I not
know enough
to ask the right questions or order enough parts? Is running a
new chain
in
extremely simple (if ya don't drop something, skip a tooth, etc.),
and
replacing tensioner, guides, etc., much more complicated? Do you
have to
take that front cover on the engine ("chain cover") off anyway for
any or
all of it - what's the difference?

They might be ok, but I usually subscribe to the school of

you
go
to the trouble to do all that work, while in there, might as well
do it
all. Then you know for sure you don't have to worry about anything.

When replacing timing chain in my '91 350SDL (102 kmi on chain,
tensioner,
guides, etc.), should I replace tensioner, guides, etc, too?
