Duke - I think the tensioner you discuss in your past post is very different than my 606.962.

Mine has no rubber parts or bearings. Is cast aluminum, bright polished on the interior with split metal sleeve inserts that MAY have some sort of coating applied on them which is what caused my confusion as to how to handle.

I finally elected to use a very fine coat of grease as the pin was pretty snug going through the tensioner.

Attached is a diagram (hopefully). Is part #5. A steel pivot pin with 17mm hexhead attaches it to the block. Timing chain is visible behind the threaded hole.

Found my new dampner shock had completly lost its charge so replaced with teh old one that still had resistance. Plan to get another new one this week.

Still have vibration at cold idle but is better.

Would appreciate further comments.
