Installation
1. Check that number 1 cylinder is still at top dead
centre (TDC).
2 .
Ensure that the wedge fitted earlier is still holding
the tensioner blade in contact with the cam
chain. Check that the camshaft timing marks
point inwards and are level with the joint face of
the head.
3.
Set the tensioner plunger onto the first tooth of
the ratchet (i.e. minimum extension) by manually
lifting the tensioner pawl.
6.
Fit a new sealing washer to the centre nut. Using
finger pressure only, push the ratchet section of
the tensioner into firm contact with the tensioner
blade. Refit the spring and centre nut to the
tensioner. Tighten the centre nut to 23 Nm.
7.
Check that the tensioner plunger, is correctly
located in the middle of the tensioner blade when
viewed from above.
8.
Rotate the engine through 4 full revolutions, and
reset number 1 cylinder to TDC. Ensure that the

seen that the tensioner nut will not be
tightened fully into the tensioner body and
that the tensioner 'nose' (i.e., the part
which actually contacts the chain rubbing
strip) is fully retracted into the housing.
Prior to assembly into the engine it is
necessary to disassemble the tensioner
nut, washer and spring. To do this without
damaging the internal components, turn
the tensioner nut at least a half turn
clockwise (i.e. tighten it further into the
housing) until the plunger springs
outwards. The tensioner nut can then be
withdrawn safely without causing internal
damage to tensioner components.
5.
Remove the tensioner blade wedge, taking care
not to move or damage the tensioner blade.
