[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 566616, member: 277"] 1/2" to 7/8" 3/8" over 50k miles The spring force just peters out to nothing over just 3/8" travel. I've had several 'failed' CCTs in my hand and this seems to universally be the case with all of them. I'm pretty sure no CCT has backed off, the plunger simply fails to auto-extend with enough force to keep up with the increasing slack. Howie is [S]special[/S] unique. What you say sure makes sense and it is what I had expected of the CCT too, but from everything I've seen this is absolutely not the way it has turned out. If you use a manual adjuster try to find the balance between sloppy slack and unnecessarily taut tension/pressure on the slippers and cam chain. The example that Zorlac shows uses a double nut to lock and hold the adjustment from moving. I'd be thinking of something blue too, in the flavor of Lock Tite. [/QUOTE]
