If you had stock TCT i would say 2-3 clicks. I had chain slap when i installed my skunk2 cams preloaded it 2 clicks which was the most i got out of it.how much perload do yall put on you tensioner i'm installing the bc stg 3 and with a couple of clicks on the hybrid racing tct and the chain still slaps but when i pry on the guide to get more clicks to the point the tct doesnt have anymore movement the chain doesnt slap anymore does that sound correct? and is that safe on the guides and tct to have it so tight?
Trust me Russ from Hybrid Racing said do not preload their tensioner. I thought you could but he wanted to make sure that i knew with their tensioner it doesnt need preloading.i have the hr tct you can preload according to there website so thats why i preloaded but the chain only have 10k miles on it and that was on oem cams
i knew earlier ones didnt have do not preload i thought he was talking about the version2. i would still ask Russ from HR if preloading is good for V1 just for good measure. nothing against u man just a precaution..they have a instruction sheet on their site showing how to preload the v1 tensioner. i have had one for 3yrs give or take. the ones that have do not preload on are the ones i would not preload
ahh thats a nice trick lol using zip tie to the chain guides! i just pryed on the tct to get my two clicks. Next time ill do the zip tie methodstep 7
