I am confused. Is the Oil in the Tensioner for Oiling the Tensioner, or for
keeping pressure on the Tensioner?
Is there a spring also in the Tensioner, if so, would it not lose it's
Tension after time from the heat of the oil?
Then when the Chain stretched would the Spring become ineffective?
Or did they put in a spring that is long enough to compensate for the Chain
stretch, and the Rubbing block wear, with just the right amount of spring
pressure so not to wear the rubbing block prematurely.
It sounds pretty complicated to me. Makes me think they were pretty savvy in
using the Oil Pressure to take up the slack of the Chain, and eliminate many
of the problems they faced otherwise.
