  Greetings folks,
                          I'm wondering why  the Bentley manual and
several listers bring up the topic of getting the timing chain tensioner
to go over the chain correctly. I've seen mentioned in both the need for
a wire to guide it into place. When placing my cover back on, I simply
looked in to make sure  the tensioner was over the chain as it fit back
together. Then I slid the tapered bushing over the crankshaft and
through the oil seal. It seemed there was plenty of room  to position
things back together. Am I missing something here, or just lucky this
time?? TIA
