Sudden Chain Tensioner Spring Wear
A couple months ago I removed the timing chain tensioner spring to install an offset woodruff key. I didn't get the right offset so last weekend did the job again and got the right offset key in there.
When I removed the spring this time, there were significant wear areas on the outside of the spring. Serious wear, like something was rubbing badly. On previous inspection two months ago, the spring was in pristine condition. What did I do wrong???? I've ordered a replacement spring, but something is not right that I should have so much wear in such a short time. Bruce McCreary '85 300D Snowflake, AZ
