Failing chain tensioner 2.7 911 1977
My 1977 2.7 911 has developed a knocking and on inspection one of the chain tensioners appears to be very easy to depress
Can someone confirm that I shouldn’t be able to press the post into the tensioner as easily as I now can Thanks Last edited by welshdragon; 06-30-2022 at 11:46 AM.. |

Thanks that’s good news in a way as it explains the knocking and I think I’ve got away with any major damage

I’ve got the same car which has developed knocking lately. I hear it especially from idle to ~3,000 rpm.
Thanks |

To answer your question, no you shouldn’t be able to press in a tensioner easily. When they are healthy it takes a lot of force to push it in.
