Consolidated cam chain tensioner thread?
12/04/10 at 14:04:56

I don't know how many total threads there are on the subject, but clearly more than the 100 limit of the search engine.

So I saw something on one of the tensioner threads and failed to bookmark it. Now I can find just about everything except that one thread. Seeing as how this is a major issue, wouldn't it be good if there were a single source for all relevant info -- at least the stuff about determining if you have a problem and how to fix it?

In the meantime, how many millimeters can the thingie stick out of the the other thing before it becomes a problem? I know there was a post about it, but... Undecided
