Hello everybody,
I am changing the timing chain on my 2012 Base Model Cooper with the N16 engine. It seems as though there is already tension on the chain (not a lot) causing me to push the tensioner in while tightening. I did use the tensioning tool, but not having that small of a torque wrench, have no idea how close I was. I was just wondering was it possible for it to have ridden up on the teeth of the lower sprocket or something. Everything else looks OK with the exception of a stripped upper guide. I should have stuck with the FCP video torque other than gone with the Bentley.
Thanks,
Kevin Core (zootmancars)
