Is this a chain tensioner failure?

Many thanks to Tim for letting my son clear the scrap from his garage today.
It’s gone to a good home

Hi Tim,

There is a 1970 2.2 T engine for sale in the Us at the moment- though you might be interested:

And another charity donation made today in thanks to the DDK'er who did me a very fair deal on a (better) replacement engine. Here it is ready to reveal it's secrets.

Nice one. What spec is it?

[tim69s]

It's a 2.7 with MFI built to RS spec.
My previous engine was a CIS 2.7 (150hp), so this will be a major upgrade when finished.

Engine has been sitting in a barn for several years and is of slightly unknown build quality, so the idea is to completely rebuild.

I may start an engine build thread if there's interest.
