So a few pics: (just adding a couple things that dirt didn't touch on in his post that seemed relevant to me) Scrubbing the old gasket off without losing anything inside the engine is fun... I used the paper towel stuffed in the hole method while I worked the gasket off with a Brillo pad. http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/q...h_DSC00551.jpg I used a little grease on my gasket before installation :D http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/q...h_DSC00573.jpg New CCT pre-install http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/q...h_DSC00560.jpg Old CCT http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/q...h_DSC00536.jpg New CCT http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/q...h_DSC00577.jpg (Click for mega pics) |
Hey guys
The other day my bike started having some of the symptoms idodirt describes, a small rattling noise on the righthand side of the engine. Now, i SUSPECT its the cct, but im not entirely certain, as it could just as well be the cam chain thats worn out, so my question is: How much pressure is the cct supposed to deliver? As it is now, I can easily hold in the spring after releasing the tension, I just figured that if it's not supposed to be more powerful than that, I can rule that out. Just want to try and avoid opening up the engine without knowing if I really need to ;) What you think? |
How come whenever I look at a part manual to buy the cct, it says what you are holding up in your pictures is called a lifter.

http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmot...r600f3/o/m2044 I don't know the answer to that. For the 1998 they called it a Lifter, Tensioner |
Is there any way of retracting it while its out?

I think mine might be seized. It was working fine before I took it out and then realized the Manual CCT from my old f2 engine is slightly bigger. Since i didnt find this thread in time, i decided to pop out the ring and twist the spring from the bottom and hold it while popped the spring back on. It was put together exactly like it was, but the chain is rattling now. Did I mess up somewhere?

Anyhow, i've included this for you, for the next time you go to work on your motorcykle, its surprisingly accurate:D http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nujB_bTXMY...gFlowchart.gif |
Haha that is a great table to follow. Thanks for the information.
