Here are two photos of what the chain tensioner looked like when I found it. As you can see, it is misaligned. I had a broken spring, like it was split in two.
In my case, I found a copper tube and made a copper sleeve to fix the misalignment. In order to get a nice tight fit, US diameter tubing will need to be hammered and expanded. In order to make the tubing wall thinner, I hammered the copper sleeve against a steel bar to increase its diameter. Once it slid over the tensioner and chain guide pin with minimal resistance, I greased it, and then aligned it with the tensioner.

Theseus owned a ship in Greek mythology, and when a part of the ship needed replacing, it was replaced. Eventually, everything was replaced. Is it the same ship? (I own the car of Theseus.  )
