I'm about to replace the timing gears & chain on one of mine & I see the cam gear comes with rubber "tensioner rings." I don't; /html/spridgets/2007-12/msg00310.html (6,490 bytes)

I swapped out all the timing gear for a double row 1275 set including the harmonic balancer. I never did figure out what puppose the rubber served.

The replacement sprockets do not have provision for them. One could argue their efficacy, and many folks removed them fro; /html/spridgets/2007-12/msg00312.html (7,831 bytes)

I have had three now including a newish one and I have never seen those rings installed as there is no place to do so. _______________________; /html/spridgets/2007-12/msg00313.html (8,555 bytes)

Guess the rubber "grew" as RPMs increased thereby causing some mystical tensioning of the chain?? The 1275 dbl. row chain/sprockets/harmo; /html/spridgets/2007-12/msg00314.html (8,177 bytes)

It did that likely for 2 months and then that rubber turned into an; /html/spridgets/2007-12/msg00323.html (9,349 bytes)
