barneybrendan Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Is the tensioner supposed to compress down easily or in a press. Mine is not budging solid is an understatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 That job needs doing in the vice and then use a small Allen key to hold it retracted until fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Not easily by any means, but it should compress ok in a press (I just used a bench vice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Sorted vice made it easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 They must be compressed VERY SLOWLY. Just winding the vice handle as fast as you physique allows will probably burst it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 I had to do it slow as only had small vice on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 So did you find the cause of your problem Barney? Was it the small core plug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Yes mate that 20 mm core plug had a hole in it. Put car back together, but I think I screwd the timming right up. car wont start now. I removed the distributor as I was going to replace the oil seal, then removed crank pulley. Not the besy thing to do. Whats number one on the dizzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I am sure there's a drawing of the plug leads positions on the dizzy cap in the wsm, otherwise I can take a picture of the rotor arm at number one on the missus"s car when I get in from work tomorrow if that helps?
