Cam Chain Replacement

<< < (4/4)

CountFazer:
In the case of cam chain wear due to oil starvation would you not except as much stretching compared to normal cam chain wear? I’m beginning to think that if the CCT is fine and the cam chain isnt stretched enough for the next click, then maybe the cam chain is still worn but due to oil starvation.

Paul:
My old Fazer managed 110,000 miles on the original cam chain.  The cam chain tensioner had clicked its last click by this time.  Are you sure you need a new cam chain?

CountFazer:
The tensioner has done its job and clicked over, so there's no more cam chain rattle. A decent amount of unnecessary work was avoided by holding off and doing some further troubleshooting.

gtangas:
It happen the same to my 98 boxeye.


The noise was present only with the engine cold very similiar to this videos.


Removed the CCT and it was at the 7 mark.


Maybe after a month the noise simple dissapeared.

CountFazer:
Fortunately, based on the advice on here I decided on holding off replacing the cam chain. I had all the tools and parts right there ready to go. Then the rattle just stopped. I’m now at the 10th mark on the CCT. Glad I held off.
