First off, thank you for this lovely guide: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's), it really pointed out 99% of the problems i've had with localizing a issue with noises from the engine when the old tensioner broke..
Anyway, I've stripped down the bike.
I've realigned the inlet on the front cylinder because it was off by ~15 degrees (and hopefully the valve hasn't taken any damage, will check tomorrow). That sad, I'm wondering if i should remove the metal plate gripping on the chain or if that's a part of the chain all together..
The part being the one visible in the hole where the old tensioner reside:
It's like a metal jacket grabbing over the chain with a small metal nob/circle on top of it, is this a part of the old tensioner and if it's supposed to be removed how do you go about doing it?
Cheers!
