Chain Tensioner
The lower chain tensioner has been redesigned to work without engagement at a lower oil fl ow rate (originally
0.86l/min, now 0.04l/min). Removing the locking mechanism made it possible to reduce the chain forces. The
spring serves to pretension the chain during cold starting. The ram fi lls the void in the hollow control plunger and
gives a faster response from the chain tensioner when oil pressure is building.
