Has anyone actually DIY chain tensioner pads?

PJQ: But the first time you jacked that thing up to the ceiling there was an engine in it. Did you use that same method that you just described?

JCB986 - And the cylinders just bolted on. Cracked cylinder? No sweat, just swap in a new one!

I like to cook um @ 250degrees & use a egg carton to store lifters & make sure they go back where they came from if they pass the test.

Looks delicious! But why are you cooking the lifters?

Because I paid Jake to tell me what to do & this is what he told you & I to do, although I may be a little high on the temp.

Yep, he learned that in my training center :-)

The hot oil is viscous, which means it easily enters the lifters and fills air pockets with oil. This means at start up the lifters are already "pumped up".

Hey Bill, how come this tread jumped from cam tensioners to lifters?

Do you also have to 'charge' the cam tensioners before installing them?
