Title: cam chain tensioner
Post by Steddy58 on 06/21/14 at 06:50:10

Hi, I'm going to replace the cam chain adjuster with one of Verslagens specials and I was wondering if I have to empty all the oil and if I do can I re-use it as I've only just replaced it ( with an expensive one ) - logic tells me yes, but logic tells me a lot of things which are bollox :), cheers have a good one all

tip it 45° and you won't loose more than tablespoon.

Agreed on the tilting. Had to open my case back up after the clutch cover cracked. Whole thing is sitting with oil at the ready right now..... covered so dirt doesn't get in of course. 8-)

That would be handy - how would you achieve that safely and without damage and would you need to remove filter and cover first or would they be kept in place
