Backing plates of the cam chain tensioner

Hi All.
I fit the thin backing plate first with the long edge down, then the cam chain tensioner, and at last the thick backing plate with long edge up.
But i dont think that this is the correct way.
Thank you.

It is the correct way.

Section C30,7.

The manual and pictures confused me too.



Someone caught my mistake in the video. "It looks like you fitted the thicker outer cam chain tensioner plate long end down? Inner is long end down, outer is long end UP. (Factory Manual, Section C30.7)"

I'll fix it the next time I'm in there (i.e. never).
