Some of you know I have taken down my primary and removed the trans gearset. One thing I didn't mention was both bolts which secure the chain tensioner to the inner primary were bent. I noticed as I was backing them out... the head was rotating in an oval fashion... I thought... the bolts are going to come out stripped... but no... they are perfect... but the shafts are slightly bent.

They must have backed out enough and will enough tension or lateral pressure... bent?

Anyone ever experience this?

 

Never had that happen.Tensioner adjusted to tight?

 

Mark @ Baker DriveTrain said that is what caused them to bend in a recent thread.

 

I think the stock HD auto adjusting tensioner is a POS! Still waiting for quite alot of parts and the hayden's arrival is the least of my worries.
