Title: Cam Chain Issues?????
Post by PipJones on 12/12/08 at 05:02:30

I see all these issues about cam chains and tensioners. But i can't ever figure out what the "complaint" that these issues causes.

so..... What kind of problems does a bad chain or chain tensioner
or guide rails cuase?

thanks

DISASTER!! If either of them come apart they transform your cogs valves and piston into hamburger. Hears hoping not,,,kenny.

if there's enough wear that the tensioner can no longer take up the slack, the tensioner plunger looses contact with the housing and falls out. This allows the chain to come loose. Sooner or later the chain looses contact with the cam sprocket and the cam goes out of time with the crank and piston. The piston comes up and says howdy to the valves. The party that ensues is not a pretty one. :o

Not to mention the spring inside the tensioner shoots out and can booger up alot of other things.
