    A mechanic certainly needs to follow the instructions which are fairly involved to ensure proper alignment and tension.

    Thanks for this.
    I seen a cool idea on yourtube video. After complete proper chain alignment. You can take mechanics wire and keep tension on the side where the tensioner is going to be installed.
    You put the small wire on the chain thur the top cam area. After you get the tensioner to fully expand. You just cut the wire and pull it out.
    Ready to fix it tommorow. Do to your vas knowledge. I bet this is the problem.
    Been around cars 50 years. But not an engine rebuilder. I really appreciate you guys great help. I will take before and after pictures and results tommorow.
    Wife's birthday . Today. 51. I am 62.
    I am roaring to go tommorow. Weather great. Got all impact wrenches and guns.
