[QUOTE="RadioHowie, post: 757926, member: 426"] Having gone down this same sad, sickening road, I have a suggesting for those DIY'ers R&R'ing their CCTs. Observe the picture: [IMG]https://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y161/radiohowie/curse-1.jpg[/IMG] The arrow indicates a gap between the engine block and the rear-most cam chain tensioner-slipper. Before removing the existing CCT, wedge SOMETHING in that gap to maintain slipper tension on the chain. A hunk of wood, a chisel, stuff a rag in the gap. The point is, keep the tension on the chain. While tie-wrapping the chain down around the crank sprocket is better than nothing, it really is removing the slack in the chain at the wrong place. The correct place to remove the chain slack is right where the CCT pushes against the chain slipper, so I believe the BEST way to keep the chain tight is to use the slipper to tension it. Push the slipper against the chain, remove the CCT, replace the CCT, extend the new CCT's plunger, remove your wedge and you should be good-to-go. I know this doesn't help the OP one stinkin' bit, but perhaps someone else can benefit. [/QUOTE]
