Distinguishing updated chain tensioner !?
On the M102 engine what is the easiest way to tell which tensioner you have? There are the early ones & of course the updated ones. From external inspection there is one that has just a large nut on the outisde and one that has an allen head set in to it. Which is which ????? Thanks

The original tensioner has a "hex" bolt head in the center of the tensioner. The replacement version has an ALLEN type of insert.
