If I recall you should be able to search this sight, renntech and rennlist to find out more on this topic "chain tensioner tool 9599".
Making sure that oil is warm, makes a huge difference.. Just warm enough to burn you and not hot enough to produce any smoke and you are just fine!

I also use a lightweight oil, not a heavy weight.
