[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 657282, member: 3828"] Thanks mang. You're the shit!! (yeah, that's a good thing ;) ) My experience on cam chains and tensioners is admittedly biased toward overhead cam automobile engines with bigger valve springs and heavier chains and such. I do remember the valve springs fighting me to get things aligned and the slack suddenly showing up in weird places while manually turning it over until I had the tension close to right. When it's running it's probably a completely different story, but we'll be adjusting these things statically (that's a demand, not a suggestion) so as not to cause more explosions while twiddling. Maybe my apprehension is unfounded. I'd be quite happy if that were the case and the manual CCT is a breeze to install and adjust. I do want to get this time bomb out of my well running '05 before a HowieIonPatriot goes off. [/QUOTE]
