Chain tensioner issue
I put a new head on and decided to do the timing chain as well a few weeks ago. Now I'm getting an s257 so I decided to do springs and cams. I took apart the tensioner and reset it but when I tighten it in the head, it doesn't tension the chain...grabbing a new one but any thoughts? I've reset the tensioner a few times and no luck

When you reset the tensioner you have to hit it after installing it to get it to fully release.

It needs to be hit right in line where the tensioner presses against the guide. Gm doesn't give a picture on where, just a description where it needs to be struck and it has to collapse more than 2mm before it releases.

Surprised it doesn't. You are resetting it correctly right? The inner shaft gets pressed down and you turn it to lock it in to the notches.
