Correct.

What did you think "Tensioner " meant ?????

It has a pin that extends [ lengthens ] as the chain wears. to keep the chain tensioned ..............
That pin has to be taken out and put back in from the front of the assembly or you will Blow the engine up b/c it will be exrended too far for a new chain.

Yeah were O.K.


I was having bit of a brain fog moment and confused it with the rail (thought the pin might have been a mounting thing), just thought it would be better to really make sure since I has already messed it up once.

thank you,
