...chain tensioner to reloa I changed the water pump on 2000 Grand AM with 2.4 L dual overhead cam engine. How do I get the timing chain tensior to reload to put pressure on the shoe. I pushed down on the shoe to release the pressure to change the pump and cannot get he tensioner to put pressure back on the shoe. I removed the tensioner and looked at it. I know it has a plunger that forces the pressure upward from oil pressure but how do you get initial pressure ??? Is the plunge a 2 peice plunger ? Can you explain ?? Do I have to purchase a new tensioner or what do I have to do ???
Thank you for any help you can give me !!
