Snap-on ring spanner torque adaptor on 21 day back order. Which will arrive first I wonder?

For the part 83300444292 (Timing Chain Tensioner Assembly Kit) there isn't a delivery date available.
Ok news from Germany is....
For the part 83302327790 (Alignment TDC Pin) BMW tells us, that it will come in week 6 of 2019

Ooooooooooohhhhhhhh Bugger!
I wonder what it does that the normal tensioner doesn’t. If it’s to set a specific preload that is independent of any variables introduced by the chain itself then we’d need to find out what that is.Or find another way to get the chain tension we need to do the rest of the work without that tool.....

If we really need it to unsure the cams are aligned at TDC then what happens when the engine is running with the normal tensioner i.e. what is the acceptable tolerance of error from the datum set by the tool?

The engine cam chain tension is kept up by a combination of a built in spring load and engine oil pressure. Since the engine is not running, the chain is kept in tension by the spring only, and that is not enough tension when you readjust the cam position.
Any news from your dealer in Norway has he confirmed that they can actually get the tool.
I am to go there next week, so Ill ask them. However, they do order the tools from Germany, so I guess we all can predict the answer.

So the tool uses a spring to set the tension and is set by putting three clicks on. Therefore I assume that there is a torque value involved. If we knew what that is we could presumably subtitute a bolt and torque it againt the cam chain rather than the shoulder of the hole...........
