Hey guys I was installing my crank angle sensor today and noticed that the little match on the timing chain tensioner was unlatched. I know this needs to be latched during install so how big of a deal is it that it's unlatched I don't need to blow my motor I just built for that I have no issue pulling it just need some advise.thanks!

it will unlatch when you put it in and turn the engine.
its only needed to be latched for when you bolt it to the engine.

..........Remember that FSM/owners manual I told you to download online instead of coming here to ask all these questions which are answered in the FSM?? You know, the same FSM that gives you your answer in a few minutes vs waiting several hours or days to be answered??

Yeah, that FSM! I recommend you go download it from any of the many sources by searching Google.

Not trying to be pedantic, but I highly recommend it as you put things together. It is invaluable when putting these cars together :)
