Dear Forum.
My lower timing chain tensioner is the newer type (as I understand it) without the allen key backing-off system. Can I 'lever' it away from the timing chain (through the aperture in the front of the timing chest) to 'disarm' it, or must I remove my sump to do so by completely removing the tensioner, please?
I appear to have put my intermediate chainwheel on its keyway in (perhaps) the wrong timing position; is this crucial, or can any small discrepancy be adjusted by moving ht leads to correct the firing order?
As you can imagine, I would rather go through the hassle of taking my sump,tensioner, RH engine mount, auxiliary dizzy/oil pump assembly and intermediate chain wheel back off (IF I HAVE TO) in order to get this right before I put the engine and gearbox back on its mounts, connect it all up, fill the sump with oil and then find that I cannot time it :!: :!:
P.S. My cylinder head is still off.
Best regards,
Ray
