honda wave cam tensioner rod

[sky333]

Hi can anyone help

removed what thought was the oil sump bolt on my honda wave only to see a spring and long bolt drop out. seems it's the cam tensioner bolt / rod.

I have put it back in but worried to start engine in case I cause damage. would it be ok to start her up ?

It will rattle for a while ,start up do not rev and wait for the oil to get round to it and all will be good

many thanks for your reply wightegi, will try it out

cheers

just as you said, took her for a run today and all was well

thanks again
