Cam Chain Tensioner: Roller Condition

Post by 305explr » Tue Apr 22, 2008 2:28 pm

Hi, All,

I can find no literature on this, so I am asking here. Should my cam chain tensioner roller be indented like this?

Thanks.

Unforunately the answer is no. It sould have a smooth ridge. I have a box full of them that look like yours. This is an expensive item to replace. I have to find someone that can change the roller only!

Can a roller like this be found anywhere?

Thanks, Davo. I suspected that after my cam roller looked the same and needed replaced, that this part would too. I was just hoping it wouldn't!

I'd like to know that answer, too, Joeweir. It seems silly to have to replace the whole unit.

Next question: does anyone know offhand where can I get one? (Or how to build one?) Terri at Westernhills is out of em.
