Title: Pirelli cam chain tensioner replacement
Post by: jimmy-s3 on July 10, 2015, 11:09:20 pm

I think the cam chain tensioner is starting to fail on my Pirelli as it's developed a rattle on that side of the cylinder head....
Has anyone replaced it themselves and got any advice or guide to doing it??

There has been a lot of posts about this recently

This is the DIY i followed.
I've been lending the Spline tool and cam locking tool to a few members. Let me know if u would like to borrow them.
