I appreciate all the hard work and effort that went into these (I know what it takes)

But...

Why??

We've built a LOT of engines.. (with zero cam timing issues) and NEVER used the factory tools or any special modified tensioner??

We thread them in until the chain stops moving (which means your against the pad)

Typically this is 2-3 complete turns. Unless your tensioners are sitting for 6months?? I've rarely had them bleed down unless we tried to bleed them down.

Am I missing something??
