Timing chain tensioner

[blacknight80]

My car jumped a cog on my timing sprocket and I found that there wasn't a tensioner reinstalled. I have found the rubber lever deal and a bolt but can't find a spring. I found a newer style tension from the 3800.

Will it work? There are two variations of it, chamfered and counter bored. Is the bolt the right size? I'm thinking it may be a little more accessible.

Thanks

You may have a double roller chain in which you can not use a tensioner at all. If it jumped, you need a new roller timing set or you can go with the billet stock replacement set from T/A and then you can go back to a tensioner. T/A sells tensioners too.

It's just a single roller.

This is the style I have minus the spring.

hmmm, T/A should still be able to set you up. Not sure if Kirban or NOS4GN sells them or not.

Nope doesn't fit under the cover. Back to the drawing board.
