Setting the marks on the crab and getting the cam lobe saving out… does that apply to the stock cam as well? My manual didn’t say any of this when I removed the stock tensioner that I had to remove because it was stuck and when I installed a new stock tensioner it didn’t seem to hurt anything but trying to understand this process? Is it just for the manual adjustment tensioner? Mine is automatic.
I don't believe so, I have watched other brands say to adjust finger tight then only back off 1/8 of a turn. a full 1-1/4 turns seems like a lot but maybe this one has finer threads?
@@desert_hellmanHD It is noisy at any RPM when it’s bad. If it is going out you should hear a very noticeable clacking noise on the passenger side of the engine where the factory tensioner is. There’s a video on our Instagram of what it sounds like broken

Just put mine in after following these instructions and it was easy. Thanks for the walk through video!!
Thanks for your support!!
@@tprindustry8981will the non turbo tensioner fit a 1000 general that has the same 2 bolt tensioner like this?
Great video! Very clear and precise!
Great video, do you have one showing the valve cover install with water and oiling add ons for turbo xp
can you briefly explain why this one would be better than a aftermarket self adjustable tensioner

Once it's done it's heat cycle and adjusted do you have to adjust it anymore from then on?
Is this the same process on the non turbo ?
Will this method of setting the tension work for all Manuel tensioners for xp1000 and turbos?

Wow so you never check the slack on the cam chain? 😮 😂
do the 2018 opt have a timing tensioner issue?
XPT
Yes anywhere from 2016 and up
When do you hear the factory one go bad? 3k rpms? Roughly
