Doing a head gasket replacement on an L18 (in situ)
With the wedge of grace in place, attempted to slide the cog back on the cam. When it didn't sit flush, pulled wedge, lifted cog, and there was less chain than before :facepalm:

Can anyone tell me if there's any way to pull the tensioner back without pulling the front face off?
