Is there something missing??
I got the timing belt hydraulic tensioner out but the lower bolt was lose. Not surprising since the bolt hole is much larger than the bolt!!
I should clarify - the bolt (say 8mm) is about 3" long, fits the hole in the tensioner and the thread in the block, but the first 1 1/2" of the hole is more like 10mm. So the bolt rattles around until it's tightened down. Further there is no pin or other locating device for the tensioner so it obviously will tend to come lose.
So, what's missing? should there be sleeves on the bolts?
