Recently rebuilt engine due to chain failure so rebuilt engine and installed rear chains and cassette whole kit bought the kit from Amazon seemed decent with decent reviews...installed the engine and right after start up hear a bunch of noise coming from behind the timing chain cover pulled back down the front and saw that the tensioner for the chain in the middle from the crank to balance shaft shifted. the spring mechanism got stuck between the two tabs and was easy to do so with your hand wasn’t like that when I installed it so bought a cloyes kit with new sprockets, chain and tensioner....needless to say did it again broke the plastic holder for the metal springs and come all apart I have no clue why the tensioner messes up instantly twice thanks for any help gotta get this thing finished up
