Guys,

Is a mechanical chain tensioner really necessary when setting the cam timing on the right side of the engine?

The service manual shows the timing being set with the hydraulic/Carrera, tensioner's installed on both sides of the engine.

Do i really need to purchase two mechanical chain tensioner's?

Should I even bother with the use of vice grips on the left?

Maybe I could even use the old style tensioners I have lying around?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike.
