Today I was aiming to replace my head on my '79 280zx all in one night, I was almost there when I ran it to this snag: The camshaft sprocket will not go into the camshaft, because it seems that the chain is not long enough. I have pulled and pulled and gave up trying to fit it back on. I know there is a tensoner somewhere down in the front of the block, and I have tried pushing it back using a long screw driver, but it keeps popping back out whenever I move the chain! If someone could shed some light on how I am to get the chain or tensioner long enough to let the sprocket to go onto the camshaft your help would be appreciated.
