    Realistically it depends on how long you plan to keep the car I guess. The oem one lasts 60k before there's significant wear, and by 90-100k it's so thin it's ready to break. The beisan one will last twice as long. It's not a difficult job but also not something I really ever want to do again.

    Beisan or OEM upper chain guide

    Would you recommend choosing beisan over a new OEM one?

    I'll be checking timing next week, figure I might overhaul the vanos seals and change this out (never been done)

    Read something about the OEM ones having a shorter lifespan when replaced due to lower guide wear and the beisan replacement mnot having that issue.

    Plus the significant difference in price ..
