Timing chain problem

[richardpr]

I have an engine and when I turn it over by hand, the chain seems to bind down where the crankshaft gear is and it looks like it jumps a tooth. I spin a few time and the marks still line up. Everything is new and I can't find what is causing this. Any help?

Is the Chain Tensioner in place and operating properly?

 

[richardpr]

Yes and it's brand new as well

Compare the old chain to the new chain. Make sure it is the same size or slightly smaller..

Apparently the problem is that the tensioner isn't putting enough pressure. I put a nut between the tensioner and the bolt and it doesn't do it anymore

I've not had the tensioner in my hand. Compare the item that gives it the pressure (I assume a spring) to the old one. Look for the length and strength to be the same or slightly better on the new one.

It's a cylinder with an enclosed spring. The old one has more tension than the new one.

I'd install the old one and or, get a correct new one.

I am probably going to get a manual one just in case

Is there a way to load the tensioner? Like loading a lifter... Putting it in oil and pumping it to dill with oil
