I have just replaced the timing chain due to the trademark rattle, but the noise persists.The tensioner seemed OK and I noticed there was no Teflon on the guide. Does the tensioner have to be primed and should there not be a Teflon layer ?

 

havent done it myself , but there are lots of links in here . yes it needs to be primed and guides should be replaced

 

Thanks Oz Now to try and track them down. I'm sure it won't be that simple. Our local Honda boys don't seem all that good on the older models.

 

This might help...

Yes indeedy - a ripper 'How To'

Thanks Naga - hopefully we'll get to use it on the great CCT mod changeover ride-in

Cheers, SB

 

damn cam chain tensioner !! there has to be a permenant fix

 

Thanks guys. Brilliant "how to".Didn't replace the tensioner, finished the job and it's noisy as hell. Back to the dealer for a replacement tensioner, I guess.

 

Read HenryM's post on modifying the CCT.
Don't buy a new one.

 

Genius! I'm up for that. Thanks for the link.
