[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1328049, member: 3828"] The Cam Chain Tensioner (CCT) is an automatically adjusting device (supposedly), but there has been a good deal of controversy about the early ones, with a few owners being bitten, where that spring slackened too much and caused valve damage. Most of the time it was after someone played around with it, but not always. Best bet is to just buy a new one and replace it (if it hasn't been done already) as the newer ones have better and more reliable tension on the chain. New ones will have a green dot of paint on them and come with a different updater part number. There is a wealth of first hand info on these on the forum if you search for it. I'm passing along 2nd hand info as I have not been bitten by a slack chain (yet) knock on wood. [/QUOTE]
