Did you follow the FSM procedure when you installed it?

Yes sir it was very easy bolt it back on adjust it and put the screw cap back on i even used a new o ring and gasket. ..its a deeper issue than just the tensioner assembly ...it's want to get the parts ordered along with the top end but idk if i need a new timing chain , chain guide, chain tensioner and another tensioner assembly

Number 7 is what I replaced...it work for about 30 miles then went back to what it was doing but worse. ..all I wanna do is fix it so I can ride and be happy again

Yes you can, no need to pull the jug, not sure on the 443 but you may be able to change the guides without pulling the head as well.

Thank you Thank you !
I'm a little scared to do the timing chain myself to be honest and I don't want to have to replace the head gasket twice...i have the service manual but the timing chain part is very confusing to me ...my cylinder might need to be sleeved because no one makes an oversized piston for this engine
