its just i had one and when i am fitting it on my car i cant seem to get rid of the slack on the chain, its tight when i first put it on but once you turn it it has lots of slck on it

I think until the tensioner is filled with oil you will get some slack on the chain between the cam sprockets when you rotate the engine due to the valves pressing on the cams. If you have slack on the part of the chain that runs up the tension rail then i'd check the tensioner. If it is the tensioner, try coating the inside of the tensioner in oil and install it already activated. Its a bit tricky but makes sure the tensioner is activated.

you still need to release the tension on the z20net tensioner before installing it
