Reply To: Cam chain tensioner
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks. initially I had thought that you had to screw or unscrew with an M10 that centre bolt to arrive at the correct tension.
To complete your description, one needs to turn the internal screw fully clockwise to retract the pin and then to unscrew half a turn or so to release the spring tensioner.
By the way I had a lot of aggravation aligning the cam shafts with the crank, with the engine in place. The chain kept slipping one tooth whilst trying to engage correctly the second cam.
I hope I don’t have to repeat this in the near future!
