camchain tensioner
Murf:
This is the end of the tensioner I took out of my engine which had not been fitted into the pocket by the PO.
The wear is from it being worn down by rubbing against the side of the primary chain, could that be the noise you are hearing. It’s on a K1 so could be a bit different to yours.
Murf:
Also I don’t feel that it’s possible for the tensioner to properly tension the cam chain when the bottom end is not supported in the boot. There must be a degree of flexing which would allow chain slap. This is often most noticeable on tickover and on the overrun, this could be mistaken for tapit noise.
