[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1416623, member: 3828"] Well, yeah, of course you have to check the timing marks. That goes without saying. Any time the chain is allowed or required to go slack you absolutely have to check and adjust the timing. The use of ty-wraps or a socket behind the chain guide is to make it so the timing is at least close to being correct. There is nothing nefarious about doing that. It isnt a shortcut, just good work practice. I really dont see how you can screw up the timing when just changing a CCT if you keep tension on the chain the whole time. Its been when people (including paid mechanics in the shops) pull out a chain tensioner without restraining the chain that you get screwed up timing about 50% of the time. [/QUOTE]
