Default HOW TO: Replace the S2000 TCT (Timing Chain Tensioner)

Did you not pull the pin for the piston, looks like the pin is still installed on the new Billman TCT. Am I incorrect at 6:30 of the video?

Video is correct, the pin is installed.

It does not get removed until the tensioner is bolted in place (same as oem)

Thank you for clarifying; the pin is removed through the bolt hole?

Did you watch all the way to the end of the video? (Hint: past minute 9.)
