there's rally nothing special about the installation.
its a hydraulic ram that pushes on a fulcrum... it either provides pressure, or does not.
the one thing I was concerned about was the side to side movement of the rail that it pushes on. If it is worn enough to mis-align with the tensioner pin, the chain could be hanging off of it.
If you dont see anything wrong by looking down into the cavity with the tensioner in, you're probably OK.
