G'day all,
Just want to ask the question,
"Is anyone running silent chains with the hydraulic upgrade kits and what is the wear like on the new tensioner shoes ?"
Just checked my spring early type tensioners and I was surprised, primary about 0.5 mm and the secondary about 1 mm after 53000 klms.
I have already got AP TW 50 cams in the old girl and I am not really keen on upgrading the cam to either the new roller type or gear drive type.
Maybe in the future I will go to AP 55 gear drive cams but they need "High Lift Valve Spring" and if the heads need to be removed to change the valves springs then I will get some worked over heads.
Stinga
