Quote:
they are notorious for dripping oil on rear due to have tread all the way and just O-ring around tread to seal. I also found good number of them wearing out at contact point.it is metal on metal where they push against chain guide.I don't use them any more for this reasons. |

Re: Using "Pointy" Tensioners in a "Curvy"?
no he Just NEEDED that money for everyone thinkin of replacing the curvy's CCTs w/ K3 ones--> you WILL need new gascets AND the tiny screws that come on top of the tensioner (ITS A DIFFERENT Part No... so if you order CCts you'll only get the main body) |

I have some gaskets kicking about just in case, but I have never needed to replace one, they tend to stay stuck to one side or the other.
