Hello All,
For those of you with TC engines (any displacement), that have converted to hydraulic cam chain tensioners or purchased a bike with stock hydraulic cam chain tensioners, how much mileage are you getting before having to change out the pads?
Thanks for the input!

 

After replacing the spring loaded tensioners twice, first at about 25000 miles and second at about 60000 I installed the screaming eagle tensioners with the new high volume oil pump. Last winter I removed the cam cover and peered inside with a dental mirror and flashlight and everything still looked good. This was just over 100,000 miles. I am running the stock cams and Mobile One V- twin oil

 

I no longer have the bike but I too did the SE upgrade at 40,000 miles and it was purring like a kitten when I sold it at 112,000 miles I ran the H-D Syn 3 oil.

 

I had my tensioners assessed at 114,000 miles on my 14 Limited. They were grooved so I had both replaced and new sceaming eagle cam plate and oil pump along with new cams and lifters just because of mileage.

 

These had exactly 23k on them when replaced. Stock 2011 dyna oil changed every 5k with synthetic. Not babied, yet not abused. I figure they'd have easily gone an other 23k.
