Manual Cam Chain tensioner

Has anyone fitted one of these, like RR UK's version?
I know it's not a big deal, but with the stock hydraulic unit
known to fail and also cause a lot of un necessary wear on the
motor until the oil pressure builds, it probably good if someone
who has done it provides a walk through of the process for
others to reference.

I've done it. I didn't take any pictures though. I did it when
I checked my valves. I also installed a flatland skid plate
when I was done so I can't comment on how much quieter my motor
is now.
In fact it sounds like I have some kind of low end knock...
that's kinda scary!

Hey bud, don't sweat the rod knock noise. With a flat aluminum
skid plate they all sound like that. Try a piece of dense foam
between the skid & motor then drill a small pattern of holes in
the bottom of the skid to take the "ring" out. It works best to
put a loud pipe on then you don't hear the mechanical motor
noise. :)
