Losing tension will not necessarily do anything to the pin... there is still no ' prime mover' to give it any sideways pressure...
but there will be problems from not keeping tension on the chain during the roll in..
There is plenty of friction on the pin... and nothing touching it on either end to push it...
therefor... no side pressure....
We are not talking about running the chain like this... just pulling it all the way through the engine...
Did you know that the pin is HORIZONTAL through all of its travel ? Like not pointed DOWN...in which case Gravity Could cause it to move... but you have Gravity working on all of it in the same direction which would tend to keep it exactly where it is placed in the chain to start with...
