Gidday -
Hoping someone can assist.
I purchased my first ever Aprilia a month ago.
She developed a timing chain rattle.
then the big end exploded ( me and the missus were shattered )
Got quoted a ridiculous price to fix her - so decided to fix it myself.
Had the con rods shut and tunnel bored, the big end milled and am fitting Toyota 2k bearings .. But can someone assist with a means of
converting the hydraulic tensioners to manual or even hydraulic over manual ?
Noted the design fault with the rear tensioner ( who the hell puts a hydraulic
tensioner on the load side of a cam change ).... Rotax !
