FYI - when rethreading the new tensioner, make sure you press on it with a CONSIDERABLE amount of force while simultaneously turning the bolthead. Otherwise the threads won't catch.

I pulled my new one apart since I read I was supposed to set something. But didn't see anything. So I compressed it and re-installed the retaining clip.
Should it be good to go or is there something I have to do because I took the plunger out???
The way it sits the tensioner tip is spring loaded and takes a fair effort to press in still.
Im beyond paranoid to do this since this is my daily driver.

Its no big deal when youve done it lol.
Im more concerned about **** popping apart into my motor, timing skipping and the vast amount of different opinions about how to do this.
Some say just screw it in.....some say lock it then release it once its screwed in. I cant afford a mistake with my daily.
