While you're on this topic, I have noticed that the post that supports the chain tensioner on the left housing has crept back a bit out of the rear housing, and now is blocked in place by the cooling fins of cyl # 1. It has only moved about a 1/4 inch out of the housing and can't move any further. Without opening up the front cover, would the tensioner still be supported adequately or is this a ticking time bomb?
