SOHB primary adjuster
#21
Well, got mine the other day and gave it a good looking over. With plenty of experience with hydraulics, this thing is a joke. It can't bleed air, or effectively stay full. If it can't stay fully charged there is no hydraulic dampening effect where it's needed. The one I have the checkvalve is so tight new oil will never enter the piston area. It sucks air in past the piston rather than suck oil past the check valve ball. This makes it nothing more than a weak *** spring tensioner that will likely push the shoe down on long decels. The overall quality sucked, so I put it back into the box and threw it into the waisted money corner. I will now pursue making the oem unit manual adjust as the final solution. If you have one of these wedge units, good luck with it. It might sorta work, but in my view not as it should.

I'm having issues with the wedge tensioner as we speak. The quality control on the tolerances is just not there! I have to shim the spring and polish the shaft in hopes that it will work. I'm getting a lot of chain slap. Not very happy with SOHB. I understand some others have been having problems with the indents in the back where the spacers are supposed to go.
