Evaluate Timing chain sets

This is funny right here. Read! Why over engineer. Just buy a good true roller race set and throw the tensioners in the trash. They designed the tensioners to fix their mistakes. Now you all want to use their bandaid for a problem you create with being cheap with a chain you bought.

I just don't get the logic with some of the members on this site. A stretched chain is stretched Taking up the slack on the relaxed side doesn't put the pull side back in time. It only creates mores stretch from the tensioner pushing on the junk chain that the soft pins are wearing down to needles.

You all don't honestly believe the links stretch do you? Its the soft junk pins and rollers they wearing out instantly on some .

Sprockets anodized black with silver teeth. Chains look chrome . key slots just for appearance on a sprocket you can squash flat with a press without it cracking. Just to sell them to guys like you all and then they grab you for a tensioner on top of that.


I had a friend going to Sturgis. His chain was loose on his Harley and it was loose beyond tightening with adjustment. So instead of a new good chain he bought a half link. Tightened that chain right up. How far do you think he made it? Far enough to get out to the middle of nowhere.
He was left there talking to the buffalo for a day until someone took him a chain back. Luckily it was junk chain like you all buy. because it took him a couple hours to widdle the pin down to shorten the chain. No one thought to take his chain with or take a chain breaker back.

Everytime I hear you all discuss this tensioner it reminds me of this man. LMFAO
