That’s a great “busting hump” video. I like to watch you work hard while I relax!
Question.
That extended tensioner has me puzzled. It’s heavily varnished where it has been exposed to dirty oil. Then all the sudden it’s quite clean or unvarnished for about a centimeter. This suggests that the tensioner did not extend gradually with gradual cam chain wear, but popped out rather suddenly. If cam chain wear was gradual, then tensioner extension would be gradual, and the varnishing would be more uniform.
What would had made that tensioner extend so much so suddenly?
Thanks……………………….
