Boring,
Oregon
Hey there, I decided to install my gates belt today and once installation was done I tried sticking the 1/16 Allen in the hole and it wouldn't go all the way(the grenade pin would but not the Allen). I then decided to look down from the top and I saw a tiny shimmer which I was afraid was oil.... so I put the grenade pin back and pulled it all out and sure enough there is a lite film of oil all the way around the silver pin (not on the brown plunger around it). Is this normal, this is a new OEM mitsu tensioner I got from jnz. I only question it because the old OEM one I pulled out has no trace of weeping like that. Its not going back together until I figure this out, completely unexpected delay. Here's a pic, not the best but you can still see what's going on.
