krave 0 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Some of these bolts you have to relieve pressure from the piston in the bolt. Have you done this? Link to post Share on other sites
vr6power 1 Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 this is the first time i have done this i filled the bolt up with oil then fitted should i take the bolt out and just put it back in without oil in Link to post Share on other sites
krave 0 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 To bleed the older style tensioner, insert a thing wire into the bleed hole in the end of the plunger to activate the check valve inside and then press down on the plunger to compress it fully. Some people like to extend the tensioner slightly so that there is some tension on the upper chain when the engine is started the first time. If you want to do this, submerge the tensioner in oil and pull out on the plunger. Doing so with the tensioner submerged will ensure that oil and not air fills the tensioner. Make sure you do not extend the tensioner too far or too much tension may be applied to the upper tensioner rail, causing premature wear. Use an iterative trial and error process to find the appropriate plunger length. Link to post Share on other sites
