Grambo trick
If having problems with cct i found this lil trick, any1 ever heard of doin this or have done this? does it work?
GRAMBO TRICK:
You just take the little bolt off the top of the tensioner housing.
Then turn the little slotted bolt inside. You can feel one way
(clockwise) retracts it against the spring. Let go and it will spin
back in. The idea is that they sometimes get "stuck", so after it
spins back down, try to turn it a bit more in the CCW direction.
Dunno if it's the plunger itself that sticks, or the chain guide
inside that needs a bit more pressure than the spring allows
to "unstick". Anyway, this is a no-risk process and some members
have said they've gone thousands of noise-free miles after doing
this.
