[Healeys] Timing chain tensioner

[Michael Salter]

All the timing chain tensioners for 6 cylinder engines have a spring which
supplements the oil pressure or perhaps helps prevent the tensioner from
retracting when there is no pressure.
The small "O" rings are to be installed directly below the collets
"keepers" and are required to prevent oil from running between the collets
and down the valve stem. They should be installed onto the top of the valve
just before you install the collets.
