[QUOTE="awitowsk, post: 521877, member: 16710"] I think I have read over just about all the threads on the cam chain and tensioner. From the good to the very bad. Everyone seems to mention the cam chain noise just at idle. If the tensioner is the culprit would the chain still be slack and making noise as the rpms increase? I am asking since the noise is still there at 3500rpm. I read mixed opinions on the tensioner adjusting when the engine is under heavy load and slack develops on the tensioner side of the cam chain. Any truth to this? I also read about going through the frame to manually adjust the spring. Is it worth tightening it, loosening, and let itself readjust? The previous owner said he just changed to synthetic for the first time about 3k ago now. Could this have anything to do with it? Thanks again guys. [/QUOTE]
