Re: It's Time
what you do once the inlet sprocket is bolted on is take the slack up from the chain, turn the crank to place the slack on the tensioner side, make sure the crank mark is aligned, it will move !, then fit the tensioner to remove the slack
I would open the tensioner and release the spring, it just requires a screwdriver to turn the sharp end whilst holding the smooth end, then reassemble the tensioner, when fitting it will require some pressure to engage the threads, but at least you know 100% it's tensioned up.
