As others have said, it will have to be done eventually anyway.  Put me down for one.

I did mine at 14,000 miles. The tensioner was at 18mm( max by the book), but the chain itself was only about 1/2 worn( as the digital callipers measured). Others have ridden further, some have ridden fewer miles & had it cause probs, ( I think) Anyone say for sure?

Heres my plan, weak as it may be. Next chain gets new guides & cryo. Extend the tensioner to get better use of its extension. Someone mentioned shimming the front guide, which would advance the cam a bit & counter the cam retading from chain stretch. Might do that. I may rerun a cam chain, since the OEM was only 1/2 worn. That would save $50.00, minus the gasket & hassle, which may not be cost effective, dunno, Thoughts anyone?

I WILL, as I did on the last one, soak the camchain in oil for a day or 2, to make sure the pins get a wet start & dont have a few seconds of unlubricated, tension & stress applied, to start off with wear marks in the pins & plates.

Just a note regarding the proposed chain purchase...this will be on a strictly cost basis, no profit of any kind will be taken by anyone in this process.
We intend to take about a week to gather commitments from the members of this site and then request a cost estimate based on the number.  That will be posted and if acceptable to everyone then the order process will be initiated.  At that point, all payments for the chains will be collected so that when the call comes that the order is ready we will be able to make the payment immediately.
A few dollars will be added to the chain cost in order to cover shipping to each person.  I would estimate that $7 would probably cover USPS Priority & insurance within the US.  (An exact shp cost will be posted after weighing a box  with chain pkg)   If you are outside the US then the cost will be more of course, and that will be determined on an individual basis depending on where you live.

Yep, and we will be lucky to talk Morse into doing it the one (1) first time and we will certainly need maximum volume on that single order to spread the set up costs out as much as possible to keep the price as reasonable as possible.

Justin, talk to your cryo contact and lets see if we can get a bulk discount price on cryo treating the whole batch of super chains at one lump if it is really that cheap to cryo them -- not much point in not maximizing things when we do them -- this one run will be the best we can technically get.

This would be the best possible construction chain with whatever cryo can actually do to help us added on top of it.

Justin, will you do that for us please?
