I bought the upgraded timing chain tensioner for my 1987 190E 16V. In checking how the parts went together, I accidentally extended the end of the tensioner itself by inseting the spring and barely pushing on it. There is no obvious way to push the end back in. #1. Will it cause a problem if I install the tensioner with the end extended? Can the end be pushed back? #2. Does the nylon (?) pin go inside the spring during assembly? #3. Any information on torque settings?

Thanks a bunch! Jim Herold
