So a manual cct is better than oem. Plus what is the price range for it compared to basic

 

yes a manual is better and when I bought mine it was $10 cheaper.

This is where I got mine. cbrzone Honda Cam Chain Tensioners

 

i got a manual APE CCT back around 20,000 miles and im about to roll 40,000 and havent had to touch it or had any problems out of it..think i paid 50 or 60 shipped for mine..pain in the a** to put it but well worth it in the end!

 

I replaced my OEM CCTL 3,500 miles ago. I got the newest version J24 Auto OEM replacement. Now 3,500 miles later, its chattering again. It's odd..it comes and goes..but it is most def at almost ALL rpm...ok not ALL but def at 2500 rpm and 4000-6500 rpm..it just seems like its always there...its not terrioble but noticeable, edit: it can get terrible at 2500rpm. I think by nature the OEM CCTL is just prone to disaster due to the poorly designed and fabricated tip. You would think after 20 years of complaints that Honda would make the 2cent change for a new tip...nope, theyd rather us keep buying em every 6 months to a year! If you think about it, its good revenue so why fix it! I'm going APE as soon as the rattle get redunkulous

 

Looks like in getting a ape I can't deal with that rattle thanks guys

 

+1 for APE!
