APE manual cam chain tensioners
are designed to replace the automatic and hydraulic tensioners
on high performance engines. The automatic adjusters can back
out when the throttle is closed suddenly at high rpm. This allows
the cams to go momentarely out of time, and can result in bent
valves and/or serious engine damage. Hydraulic tensioners have
a tendency to put too much tension on the chain guide under high
rpm/high oil pressure conditions, resulting in premature wear.
Both problems can be eliminated
with the installation of the APE manual tensioner. No mater what
the engine does, the cam chain tension will remain constant.
An APE manual cam chain tensioner is a must for any kind of performance
riding.
APE manual tensioners are
CNC machined from billet alloy to exact tolerances for perfect
fit.
IMPORTANT: WHEN REPLACING
ANY HYDRAULIC OEM TENSIONER WITH A MANUAL TENSIONER, IT IS IMPORTANT
TO BLOCK OFF THE OIL PASSAGE THAT SUPPLIED THE OEM TENSIONER.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN A LOW OIL PRESSURE SITUATION.
