21. This rotation of the camshaft will compress the tensioner shoe (3) against the spring force of the tensioner, opening up a gap between the chain and
the internal rib in the front cover. The wedge will then drop into this gap. You will feel a distinct click as the teeth engage the chain.
Caution: Be sure the EN49982-2 is captured firmly as described before continuing. This is critical to ensuring the camshaft drive chains stay
properly timed.
22. Release the force on the wrench, allowing the spring tension to close the tensioner shoe against the wedge portion of EN49982-2 - retainer. You
should be able to lightly tug on the EN49982-2 - retainer and it should stay in position. Repeat Steps 20 and 21 if necessary to re-insert the
EN49982-2 - retainer until you are certain it is in position and will stay in position.
