Re: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's)

So that's Krieger manual CCTs fitted. It turns over by hand, but I got to admit I'm terrified of pressing the start button.

Thanks for the great help everyone.

Re: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's)

I never use thread lock or silicon anywhere near the cap caps and bolts, just tighten properly and they stay out Beware getting any silicon or thread lock in the oilways on the cap to head mating surface as oil starvation to the cams may result. Thanks tony.mon. I ended up using a little (saw your ...

Re: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's)

All done per guide apart from putting the bike back together.

Question: on replacing the cam guides, do I need any kind of thread lock on the 3 bolts?

Thanks (again)

I've learned so much doing this, it's unreal.

Re: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's)

Me again :crazy:

Re. nuts on the main MCCT shaft.

I know I'm being really pedantic, but I've a few bits of information that suggest putting the thin jam nut on first will be more resistant to becoming loose due to vibration than putting the thick nut on first. Anyone any experience of this?

Re: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's)

Last question.....promise.

When fastening down the new manual CCTs is there a specific torque for the 2x fixing bolts?

Thanks :thumbup:

Re: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's)

Just undo the two bolts holding them in and remove them (don't worry about using key - but a cable tie on the cam chain to stop it jumping & skipping if timing is incorrect) - but only at the correct TDC. Install new manual tensioners and set the tension. Make sure you use some threadlock / sil...

Hi, Great guide set out for changing to manual CCTs, very detailed. I'm on changing mine now using this guide, but I have a query, hopefully it's not something I've missed in the procedure. I've got to the point of fitting the Krieger MCCTs and the instructions that came with them mention making a ...
