I am in doing my thermostat housing and figured its a good time to replace the timing chain spring tensioner on the left bank front since I have access to it.
My question here now is that the is a pinhole in the tensioner and a 1/4" hole in the thread area for it in the head.
I do take it that these both need to line up when installed as to deliver oil (and pressure) into the tensioner, right?
Will they match up no matter what based on the threadings or should i go lengths to make sure they line up by marking each to see they do?
I see in similar posts here that the torque should be 28 ft / lbs, correct?
thanks in advanced.
