a question for you: can I take the timing chain tensioner assembly from the head and replace the seal washer and reassemble everything without upsetting the timing?
I've got a reasonably bad oil leak which looks to be coming from the tensioner. The tensioner piston sits in its own little pool of oil, so I assume that a failed seal washer is letting this oil fall onto my garage floor.
I'd rather not lift the valve cover off unless I have to, as this looks more involved than on my old E24... but obviously don't want to risk timing slippage, etc
Cheers
