Chain Tensioners...
Am wondering if the reuse problem has to do the the C-clip.....pulled a tensioner out of my 90 motor(in the car)...not easy to separate 2 days in the freezer and it came loose...after battling one that reset and would then not open....to me even a slight tweak and these will lock up.
thoughts? Tried finding new, but none as the local places...

Re: Chain Tensioners...
Lee,
Is the inner plunger binding in the bore of the outer cylinder? I've seen some that drag a bit but never seen one completely stuck before. After a good polishing they run smooth as silk.

Yep, had to pull one out of my 90 motor, I am all set on the engine...I am not running the retaining C clip as some have seen tensioner bind....
