My front CCT had a broken spring so after fitting a new CCT I turned the engine over via the crankshaft (Counter clockwise) and lined up the FT mark at the inspection hole but the cams are not facing away from each other and the and FE mark is nowhere near where it should be!The F1 Mark is in line w...

Re: CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) Fail Safe Mod. (aka Stopper Mo
A couple of queries!
I notice on the normal tensioners there is a small red mark on the front and a white mark on the rear?Any reason?
Also,when refitting a standard tensioner should it be retracted and held with the key until fully bolted down?

Re: CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) Fail Safe Mod. (aka Stopper Mo
So,if it is being removed why the need to lock it in the first place?AMCQ46 wrote:No, the CCT won't fall part it if you don't lock it, it will just go to full extension

Re: CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) Fail Safe Mod. (aka Stopper Mo
If you visualise the inside of the tensioner have a plus sign cut outs, so divided into four 1/4's, therefore when the key is turned it can slot into any of these cuts out which locks the worm drive into position. The worm retracts or detracts the tensioner and spring within it. :thumbup: (:-}) So,...
