[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16951703, member: 117234"] Black guides do exist or at least did for a short time. From what I've seen on 2 4.6s is the drivers side straight guide breaks if you don't have ratcheting tensioners. The later design operates with oil pressure only and under certain throttle conditions allows the chain to basically jump off the gear and beat up the straight guide. If you've ever seen a ship drop an anchor you'll know what I am talking about. Op make sure the shop installs not only metal backed guides but also ratcheting tensionsers. You'll want to have them modified too. You basically grind off a few teeth on the mechanism so they can only extend and lock to a certain point. You're preventing them from adding to much mechanical tension and allowing the tensioner to operate on oil pressure only after a point. Google it, you'll see what I mean. [/QUOTE]
