Cam chain adjuster bolt bodge!
Bryanj:
Thats not even the pinch bolt that locks the plunger, i think ts where the cap that locks the plunger goes.
Time for total strip out and repair using the stainless repair kit reported on elsewhere
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Whoever did that clearly had no idea how the tensioner works.
Hopefully you might be able to tap a small thread where the pin goes through the casing to cap off each end otherwise its what alloy welding?

Know the bit you mean Bryan, don't suppose it's an external fit without getting into engine he said hopefully 😉

Cheers Ted, made my day ;😂
Bryanj:
The machining can be done with the engine complete but its a risk with swarf and may well have to come out to get space BUT the plunger frequently siezes and the horseshoe gets damaged and they both need the cases split
