    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I removed the cam chain tensioner to replace the oil seal and reinstalled it. Unusual noises began. How do I adjust the cam chain tensioner?
 
You may have ruined the tensioner or more if you just simply reinstalled it. If not done as outlined in bwringer's webpage the rod would have been fully extended and they don't back out once they have done so.
 
Then again, you could put a manual one in it and eliminate the problem.

If one cannot correctly install an automatic tensioner that requires no adjustment or maintenance, I dont see how it could be an improvement to install a manual tensioner that does require adjustment. Seems to be a too hot in the pan so jump into the fire approach. LOL
