Cam chain tensioner - Woodzey80 - 22-02-26

Hi all ! I am currently running a manual cam chain tensioner but thinking of going back to oem automatic tensioner. I have my original tensioner & cannot see how this can fail. What's peoples thoughts an what are you using ? TIA

I switched to manual about 6 years ago, purely because I’d read a few horror stories on the forum of the stock ones failing, with expensive results. These were no doubt very isolated instances, but as I consider myself as unlucky, I figured this was bound to happen to me, so therefore went manual.
