Title: Tensioner Assembly...Is this true
Post by: ob_318is on September 03, 2008, 08:46:53 PM

The assembly consists of a plunger, spring, cap, and sealing ring. Is this true? More so the spring...do we have a spring in our tensioner's cap?

The spring is not in the tensioner cap. Spring is inside in the tensioner.
