While having a side discussion about this I found a TSB doe not ensure
approval.
Apparently, Porsche DOES have a cam chain tensioner TSB. It was
submitted to the powers that be. It was turned down. Somehow, that
doesn't make sense.
Sounds like those same powers should take away the Toyota crash bolts
allowance, since they won't permit the tensioners.
