M271 Chain tensioner Location
Hi guys,

I am replacing my chain on my M271 engine and I am having trouble finding the chain tensioner.

Is it behind the alternator?



Is this were the chain tensioner is ?

Is it behind that cap? If so, how do I remove it?

Yup, it's behind that thin plastic cap. Use a small screwdriver, punch, whatever. Put a hole it in. Pry it out with screwdriver, punch, etc.

Good Luck!

Fwiw, it's removed/installed similar to how freeze plugs are often removed/installed.

Remove that plug kinda-like below:
