found on mine that you need a magnet to tell if washer is stuck to head on some of the less accessable ones

A top tip Martin; I'll try that, thanks!

Bryanj:
As long as the nut screws on leave it alone as you dont need that slot

That’s good to know Bryan. How do I switch it from slack to tensioned when I rebuild the engine?

Bryanj:
You dont ever use the slot anyway, when building before fitting cam stick fingers down tunnel, push slipper to carbs and hold whilst nipping up locknut then just undo when built and holding pressure on kickstart, nipping up whilst holding pressure.

Check the tensioner fold over tabs are crimped over tight to hold theteeth on the bolt in mesh with the rack, people forcing the screw slot in the false idea that this will tension the chain is what damages the meshing in the first place

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I assumed the end slot was was for a stubby crewdriver to stop the bolt from turning as you nipped up or released  the lock nut.
