I have been slowly rebuilding the engine for my TR3, and have found a 
problem with the timing chain tensioner.

The tensioner rides against the face of the engine mointing plate, and 
has worn a deep groove into it's surface. First of all, is this typical? 
I have no idea how many total miles that this engine has seen. I assume 
the proper way to repair this is to fill it either with brazing rod 
using a torch, or steel using an arc welder, and then grind it down 
flush. Does anyone have other suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike
