i have the set minus one cd make me an offer
Me, I do with a mechanic’s stethoscope, I start to tender by screwing by hand without forcing then, I refine not to hear any clicking, at 2000 rpm.
Do you know how to set the tension on the manual unit? Too tight and you can burn up the chain guides. Don't forget that you'll also need the gasket, 11009-1858.
There is still thread in there and it looks like it might be a helicoil.Get someone you can trust to check it out.
So, I'm going to throw a manual tensioner in it. No big deal. But .. next question... What oil do I refill it with? Preferably something from AutoZone.
It can take a few days for a transaction to show up. Not sure if the weekend is playing into that though.
Metal fatigue, old age...any number of things. First time I've heard of that though.
Wow. How does that happen?
Yup, the camchain tensioner has blown it's bolt out. Plenty of oil comes out of there.Replace the tensioner with a cheap manual tensioner from Amazon or Ebay for about $50.https://www.ebay.com/itm/364759553484
