Pulled the cam chest apart today and found that the front Zipper's Red Shift Dual Piston Tensioner was not moving in and out...Pulled it apart, cleaned and primed it and it appears to be working now.

I guess if the cam chain was loose it would make a lot of whirling noise. The shoe did have some wear marks on it, so at some point it was working.

Maybe some debris plugged the feed holes, who knows....I will be calling Zippers tomorrow and see what they have to say.

Now to order the new cams, the Axtell Oil Bypass System (removing the Baisley Spring) and the assorted O rings and a gasket from HD.

 

Take some pics, I see myself getting in there someday, better start paying attention now.

 

Keep us posted what Zippers says.

 

Yeah, I would like to know too. I just ordered a set for when I get the time to install my new 777s.

 

What is the general word on the street about the zippers red shift dual piston tensioners?

 

Zippers wants my front tensioner back for review. It's going back today. I told them I need a replacement by Friday, so hopefully their come through.

Mine seized up midway. I thought maybe the 20/60 oil had something to do with it but it was making noise long before I added it.
