Default Cam install...oops, need help
When removing the primary cam chain tensioner I dropped it, not a big deal I had a shop towel under it. However the shoe separated from the body and bounced. I only found the shoe and the body. I just want to be certain there are no other parts that could have bounced elsewhere like a spring or washer. BTW this is on a TC96, SE 255 cam install. Unfortunately there are no parts break down pictures for the cam chain tensioner in the service manual (at least that I can find).

Thanks,

Per service manual, page 3-86 of the 2009 service manual

Cam chain tenesioner, piston, spring shoe. Sounds like you need to look for the piston

Don't drop the cams or cam plate.
