Evening!
I'm the chap with the cam chain woes. Wouldnt worry about it too much as it seems to be a problem unique to yours truly :rolleyes
The adjuster unit does have a gasket. There is an easy way to check if its seized. Whip the 10mm headed bolt out if the end of it, pop a slim flat bladed screwdriver down the hole and feel around for the slot it goes into which is on the end of the piston. Give it a twiddle, clockwise tightens it if memory serves me correctly.If it doesnt move either way, could be seized, but this is not the problem I've had. Mines more to do with the spring giving up the ghost. It seems to be a sealed unit, and AFAIK, lasts quite well. Guess I've just been very unlucky. Ho hum, there you go.
Hope this helps.
Anyhoo, back to Clockwork Angels by the mighty Rush :guitar and some more wine 8)

Its better to ask a stupid question than make a stupid mistake.
