I installed the manual chain adjuster and got all the slack out while it was good and warm. it just isnt as quiet as it used to be. I'm kinda scared to tear into it because it runs so well. 351 kit ,36 pumper, fmf can, de screeened air filter.
Some of the guide plates wearing out? What's your odometer reading?

Miles? Km?

Either way that's way too low to have any of those causing problems or at least it should be way too soon.

Have you re-adjusted your manual tensioner since you installed it?
