I was able to get some new bushings and Im cleaning and doing any maintenance and was wondering if the arm is supposed to be flat, or have a dimple in it.
Is the dimple supposed to be on the arm where the hydraulic tensioner makes contact or is it supposed to be flat. If its supposed to be flat I'll weld it up and file it back to flat as best as possible. After that put a little bit of paint on it push the bushings in and go with it.
The shaft does have some wear on it, but there isnt much I can do about that and when putting the 2g tensioner arm on with the new bushings (where I got the bushings from) had very little movement. It should help out, going to trim the gasket as well while I have access to it just to make sure it didnt get under the engine mount bracket.
Just wondering about that dimple.
