my question can apply to any prostar engine but is on my s900, ok so I installed the bmp mechanical came chain tensioner, the install was simple enough but the question I have is getting it tensioned good, I put the valve cover back on and everything because there was no real good way to check the chains tension there i then ran it and tightened to what felt good to me. There’s no good torque spec or anything of what to tighten the chain too off the tensioner, does anyone have any tricks or tips for getting a mechanical tensioner set just right ? I don’t hear a rattle and I don’t hear a whine which is what everything I’ve read said to check for but that just didn’t seem real accurate to me….. Am I being paranoid ?
