I make my own with a delrin block faced with neoprene and a coil spring. Looks
like it came out a motorcycle--surprise, surprise. The little flat springs
suck bilgewater.

Subject: [Fot] TR3/4 Timing Chain Tensioner
Amici, I took my engine apart this weekend and found another broken timing
chain tensioner. This is the 3rd or 4th one that has broken (not all with
this same block). Some have broken in a season or less, while this one was
used last season and then failed sometime this season. These have been from
the 3 major parts suppliers, but I did not keep track of which one was from
who.
Any suggestions on oned that seem to last longer than others, or what I am
doing wrong that is causing the failures? They are not wearing thru, but
rather are snapping off about an inch from the pivot. Any better designed
tensioners out there for the tractor motors? Joe(B)
