    No Pix.

    Automatic Tensioner
    Manual Re-set.

    Manually rotate engine two full turns Clockwise coming to a smooth and steady halt.

    Quickly reverse direction placing any Chain Slack in front of the Tensioner.
    If it clicks.
    You reset it.
    If it don't ... try the procedure again.
    If it clicks.
    You reset it.
    If it don't ... it didn't need too ... it's automatic.

    That's too easy...

    Isn't there some incredibly hard to fathom routine I could try instead?

    Thanks Rick :)

    Be glad that's the extent of your inquiry.

    You could be asking how to fix a stripped oil filter bolt casing.

    Rick,

    This is something I'd like to check also...... But, where is it located? And how do you "manually rotate" these engines? Please embelish if you would.....
