    Gents,

    I’m sure one of you has seen this before but I can’t not find a lot of it despite searching.
    I brought a new tensioner kit in the photo below, the top is the new and bottom is the existing.
    Have the changed from the plastic plunger to a stainless ball? And what’s orientation of the ball?

    Any info would be amazing, thank you in advance.

    I think its maybe something to do with keeping oil in the tensioner when the engine is not running. That way there is tension on the chain before you turn the key.
