Question about cams
#21
No, the other engine ran great. I was just exploring possible combinations that would not require pulling the jugs because I was not sure if I wanted to do that now.

They were supposedly replaced by a local dealer at 33K miles and I just rolled over 61K miles. It was time to check them and it was time for an oil change and I wanted to clean up and polish the cam cover and install chrome hardware at the same time.
The outer one looks like it might have 28K miles on it, but I am not too sure the inner one has ever been replaced even though it was supposed to have been.

this doesn't look like 28K miles...

Each plastic pad is attached to steel lever by a rivet. Pads can turn on the rivets (axles). One of pads is worn out evenly, another one was stuck and one end of it is worn out, another one is not. Look at pictures. I have never repaired bike engine except valve adjustment. You don't need to be a mechanic to understand, just look at pictures of both tensioners, do you see difference?
Did you ever repair Harley engine? What did you do?

In some cases, you do need to be a mechanic. This is one of those cases.

your description of an AXLE is way off..........
Have NEVER heard that type of pivot point being called an axle......and pretty sure MOST people havent either.........seeing that an axle has either a rod or spindle passing through a WHEEL or a group of WHEELS.......
thats a pivot point.....NOT an AXLE!!
