URGENT oil pressure stop engine
Pesky jones:
I think the spring is just there to tension it when the car turns on, and then the oil pressure takes over. Also, if the plastic guides snap then it could still extend further then ir should and loose oil pressure.
Im no expert on the tensioner let alone the engine by any means. I mean really, im just stating my opinion and waiting for someone more knowledgeable to come along, read what ive said and tell me im wrong.

What do people think about these, im worried they will still be too chunky

These seem skinnier but only 100mm long. I think this will be long enough. Think this set also contains t27 and t30. The guide ive been following says they are t27 bolts but ive been.using a t30 so far and it fits fine?

get something like this with a 1/4 inch ratchet adaptor.

Here is mine with some wobble extensions etc.
Pesky jones:
Ive already got something like that daz, problem being the socket for the bit is too thick too fit through.
My 1/4 racteht set is good its got loads of entensions etc but it all uses the socket thats too thick
Pesky jones:
My dad showed marius the photo of the camshafts and he said that some turbo engines have the valves set further back so might not have done any damage, seems unlikely to me seeing as some have said I could have valves bent but thought id double check with you guys anyway. If it was the case then im thinking replace tensioner and chain, realign the timing and then do a compression test.
What do you guys think.
