camchain tensioner
bigmockuk:
steve W,the book says it just drops in,aye right! i had to fiddle with it before i could get it to sit properly and when the barrel was right down it wobbled like it was`nt sitting flush so took a few attempts to get it right,but i should see fom below if it is actually correct,cheers

This is what happens if the bottom of the tensioner is not seated in its location.
SteveW:
From memory, I think the Haynes manual says drop it in with the barrels. When the barrels are 10mm or so from being fully down, guide the end of the blade into its slot.
Johnny4428:
This is the tensioner in the correct position. You can see a mark on the outside of the tensioner pocket where the bottom of the tensioner was before I stripped the engine.

jonny4428 that pic you have of the marks on the tensioner is identical to the marks on mine!! which means its still not in place :-[ cheers for the other pic it lets me see what to look for when i drop the pan,ive seen two vids on youtube now that shows the tensioner being fitted to the barrels prior to lowering the barrel? might be a good idea to do this,could take away the guess work
