timing chain tensioner question

[hotshoe]

just checking out my timing chain tensioner and I know that a little movement in and out of the plunger is ok but mine is spinning also, is that normal

There's nothing in there that would keep it from spinning...so if the adjustment is good I wouldn't worry about it.

Agreed - it may be just fine - BUT - there were several different tensioner designs over the years and so whenever you post a question, it always good practice to state what year of bike you have.

Since you're in there, there seems to be a lot of mixing and matching that's happened from various years/designs, not to mention missing parts, so it would be good to describe here what you have just to check for that kind of thing and straighten it out.
