cam tensioners

RE: cam tensioners
It's quite easy - you'll have to go for adjustable pushrods, but, other than that added expense, I doubt if the tensioners are much. It would make a good Saturday project and you'd learn what the inside of the cam compartment looks like too - if you live close to Chambersburg PA, I'd be happy to help.

You'll have to drop the exhaust so you'll need exhaust gaskets, a cam cover gasket and the tensioners and some blue loctite to put it all together again. You can use some strong wire to hold the tensioners away from the chain and you can use a wrench to release the tensioners so you don't need to buy any special tools.

Ted, I forget, when you replacedyour tensioners did you go with Andrews 26g gear set? Has this worked out well for you?
