Evenin', Woods....glad I decided to change the chain tensioner today. The primary was opened up a month or so and 1,000 miles ago for a clutch bearing replacement. At that time, I was surprised on how good everything looked inside. No wear on the Comp, hardly any wear on the tensioner and chain tension was right on the money. Realized today the reason the chain play was right was that the factory tensioner probably wasn't working. Primary fluid was black, wear showing on comp and shoe had more wear than it had in 31,000 miles. Chain had barely 1/8" of play stone cold. I know the tension was set right when the shop did the bearing because I was there and checked it before they closed it up. Should be good now with the Baker in there.

Four family pools within 2 miles of me and I've never been in any of them!
