Toyota 94 22re pu metal timing chain guides??

Question

I am going to have to replace my timing chain and all the stuff that goes with it but i found online http://www.toyotacatalog.net/M1WebGear/ProductDetails.aspx?PartUniqueID=9587B2BE-4586-4F8D-A534-69F9E446E60D
at this site metal guides that say they will out last the "pathetic" oem plastic ones i want to know is it worth it i am 17 yrs old my dad is pay up front for the repairs and i have to pay back later i want to know will these out last and give me more trouble free miles the the oem when the oem ones broke they had a 124000 miles on them. so i need opions please to prove or disprove the meatal ones pros cons?? compared to the plastic ones would it save my a** in the long run?????

Ok i understad oem is probly the way to go that makes sence i honestly think it was freak that it broke also the metal guides have a plastic on them so it is not metal to metal when the plastic wears out you hear the noise and you know its tim to change in stead of it breaking and causeing 2000 dollars worth of damage just thought id throw that out there. too but ya oem is probly the right way i just have to chage it before it breaks

Answer 1

I would stick to the oem parts, any time you have metal on metal friction something will wear and the I dont like the idea of having metal shavings in the oil. What you save on wear on the guides you might lose on the chain.

Answer 2

if you use metal guides,you will hear loud noise all the time.almost loud as a diesel vehicle. stick with the manufacture. my 1988 4runner truck 22-R engine have 449,000 miles and still the same engine. the only time the chain guide goes out is lack of oil change

Answer 3

the only way is to stay with oem parts and get another 124000 miles

Answer 4

Not that you need to hear it again, but OEM is the way to go. Toyota knows more about toyota, than the salesman who wrote that blurb.
