Hey Jim, first grab an extra oil filter. Then pull the oil pressure sender and put about 20 lbs of air pressure in the hole in the head. My bet is the tensioner will extend and take up all that slack. 15 or 20 lbs of pressure applied perpendicular to a chain will really tighten it up according to "vector's law of perpendicular force as applied to a chain".
The tensioners force comes from oil pressure, and that same oil acts as a dampner to absorb the slack and slap as the chains tension switches from top to bottom during operation. Does the cylinder move smoothly until it hits the pin and stops? Now change the oil filter as it probably has a screwed up anti-drainback valve.
oh yeah, use clean dry air, no crap allowed into the oil passages please.
