    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Cam Chain Tensioner

Well I have tried to rebuild then reinstall the cam chain tensioner. However, I still have the same noise I had before the rebuild. IT seems as if the spring that is around the knob is weak. I tried to make it slightly tighter than it was, but it still seems weak. Should I take it apart and try to make this tighter, will this have any effect?

I had to turn the engine slightly to get the pushrod to go back in, but when i turned the engine and knob counterclockwise (as per Billy Ricks instructions found by searching),then turned clockwise, the knob did not seem to do much of anything. I think the whole thing may just be worn out.

If so, what vendor can I use to get a new one?
 
The spring must be tensioned by winding it back a couple of turns, and then locating the bent end of the spring into the hole on the wheel/ knob.
