camchain tensioner
bigmockuk:
ye Bryanj just fitted new ones the other day too,just seen on DS that the tensioner is supposed to have a rubber dampener fitted at the end,mine doesnt so could it even be that resonating upwards
Bryanj:
Supposed to have one each end in the steel bit, usualy dont fall out
bigmockuk:
so Bryanj you think maybe whenever the tensioner is removed the rubber may stay put? i`ll upload a small video to youtube at some point later today of a recording i took of the noise and post a link here if anyone can determine what it could be,this has only occured recently,the engine has been sound up to now so im asking myself was it something i disturbed? in which case its only been the tensioner .i hope to take the rocker cover off later and remove the shafts to check things are ok there and if not i`ll go further down to possibly fit new dampener rubber,im too stubborn to let this get the better of me but its chipping away at me haha.back to work shortly too then time will be against me.
Laverda Dave:
If the damper rubber is missing you need to replace it (them) otherwise the tensioner blade will be moving around and will have insufficient tension being applied to it.
Seabeowner:
As said they don't come out until you remove the blade and I think they are hidden in the pockets at the ends of the blade.
