Need suggestions from the VQ masters
I acquired a timing chain tensioner from a blown 2001 DEK to put in my DE. When removing the testioner from the DEK, I noticed that you have to keep tension on the chain in order to put a new one in.
What are you guys using to keep the tension on the chain until you can insert the new tensioner?

You need to push the tensioner piston back down into the tensioner so you can insert a push pin in that little hole so the piston stays inside. Then you just push and hold the guide toward the front of the motor and then bolt the tensioner on. Then remove the push pin so the piston can push against the nub on the guide.

I'm looking to see if anyone did something clever to put tension on the guide.
Thanks for the input.

That's exactly how to do it, if NOT removing the outer timing chain cover.
a thumbtack works too.
be careful not to move the chain even by one tooth, the timing can be off as a result.

Have the Plunger being held in by a paper clip and just move the chain and guide over as you put in the new tentioner....I remember that the chain wasnt even in the way when I went to the tentioner in. The hardest part is finding the first bolt hole. Once you get one in, the second is cake. And dont be worried about the washer falling into the case because the washer doesnt go past the threads on the bolts.
Hope I helped.
