How to replace BMW Oilhead Cam Chain Tensioner Replacement Parts, The new tensioner is still available through Chicago BMW, as is mentioned in the other thread. I don’t know why there’s all this talk about it not being available when you can still buy it. Sounds like there’s some screwball dealers out there spreading misinformation. :scratch. I think a more likely issue is that the “plunger” probably moves up and down too slowly. I’m guessing that the unit gets full of oil, so when the cam chain puts a force on it, it has to either squeeze oil out or suck it in — putting extra load on the spring, which it may not have been designed for, causing it to get out of sync with the cam chains, giving the slapping. The replacement bit that I have in my GS both has a stiffer spring and the spring is sealed from oil. It looks like the chains are the same length, I have been looking at the diagram engine picture of the left and right tensioners the left has a oil slot it looks to me like the slot would bleed off a lot of the oil pressure.
