I feel that I explained why the Billman is superior to other TCT's. I understand how they work, I even understand why the toda tct is second best to the Billman unit. So if we are going to continue this discussion, we should add the toda tct in to the mix

SO one guy is happy his car hasent blown up yet .. one guy has no mechanical knowledge and one guy picked inline pro because he Dident know about bill .. and ur answers are .. it's working ! .. you do understand that putting excess tension on the chain will rid you of ur clicking noise .. wow ! Problem solved ..give it time

Welp I will give it time. I'm sure i'll run into other things before my TCT is the biggest concerns. Like V6 said you have no real data to go off of to prove one is better then the other. I get it Billman has a great product.

The data is there .. you don't understand it ..
bill steps up tension incrementally .. safe! Specifically for your car ..
others just put full tension on the chain ..
if you don't under stand why that is wrong than like I said .. waiting for someone with mechanical knowledge to chime in

I think you think you're the only smart one here. Many of us understand what you're saying, but we also weigh it against bigger issues that are more likely to happen (IE: I am more likely to overheat or blow up my motor). Additionally, I haven't seen any wear measurements taken comparing different tensioners driven comparably for comparable mileage, so until there is that or a clear indication of failures with a group of motors, meh...

No need to defend products, speculate, or argue. The bottom line is we want the timing chains to last. They are not indestructible. Be aware of your engines, and the noises they make. All products will reveal their strengths and weaknesses as time goes on. Let's agree we want all our S2000s to do well for as many miles as they can.
Lets not say bad things about any product. Take it right to the source if you have issues or questions.

Hopefully our V mount kit that's in development could help you out.
