Have you had this apart before?
My guess is that only one side of the double-row chain is in mesh with the intermediate shaft sprocket. Sherwood http://members.rennlist.org/911pcars |

I'd be surprised if no one has been inside before. Factory chain tensioners don't last that long. Does your chain have a removeable link? If so, that would indicate the chain has been replaced for one reason or another. BTW, how many miles on yours?

As I rotated the engine I could not see a link but the chain was tight and stayed clear from the housing. I suspect you are probably right about someone being in there before , who knows?
the car has 79000 mile on it, and not very many records were kept. |
