Hi guys. I am working on my son's '95 XJ6. The famous chain rattling has persisted through the years upon start up. I took apart the tensioner to get a grasp of the engineering for it. I bought a used updated tensioner second hand. { used }. Upon installation i dropped it. Putting it back together I noticed that the only difference between the two is the main body which omits the hole for the hex key adjustment. Upon reassembly I noticed that the bushing inside that has all the slots for the hex key adjustment is not only there but impedes the backward movement of the plunger. My question is should I omit this part or is it essential for the proper function of the unit. Also, if the only difference is the main body then how is the revised unit better. Thanks for your thoughts.

 

I answered your X399 post, we Aussies are a clever lot at deciphering "typo's".

When his coffee takes hold GGG will blend the 2, hopefully.

 

I have the upgraded version in the garage somewhere not installed and will look

I dropped one and cracked one so you're not the first one

Motorcarman ?

 

I hate so much that as I am getting older my hands just don't work like they should and I drop things. The older I get, the better I was.
