New OSK Timing Chain Tensioner Advice
I installed a new timing chain kit from engine builder on my freshly rebuilt 22re. In the process of putting the timing chain cover and oil pump back on I accidentally put the wrong bolt in the top oil pump bolt hole. Too long of course. I quickly figured this out because the bolt bottomed out against the tensioner and damaged the slipper on my new tensioner. I'm at my budget with this engine & don't really want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to. It damaged the slipper on the tensioner. I'm going to attach a picture to see what any of you think about it if it will be okay or not. Thank you for any input.

Rubber isn't cracked? Shaft not nicked/scratched/bent? No visible damage to the casing? Shaft slides in and out freely? Everybody will probably suggest that you replace it but if they were in your situation they'd probably all run it as is. If it were me I'd kick myself a bunch then run it.

Did you not see the picture I attached? The rubber slipper is cracked right where the shaft meets it. It moves as freely as it came out of the box. No bent shaft or nicks in it.

Well I have already bet on it since the motor is almost together. Haha. Do you all use any rtv on the heater hoses coming out the back of the timing cover?
