Umm!! I have to report that I got an oil change and the sound went away (for now) I change my oil every 3000-3500 miles and I'm running synthetic. I couldn't check youtube at work because of firewalls so I was guessing earlier, I finally got a chance to see some of the videos on the TCT when I got home.. The sound was quite similar to the videos but not as loud...

Ah, people kept asking if it was me at C&C, yet I never heard it once. must have been yours. I have the 10 year etc honda extended bumper to bumper warranty. I figured since this is my DD, it was worth the $1000 up front for peace of mind.

you guys should petition S&R to produce more of the solid state tensioners like the one I have installed. The tuner that works for them can make them...

I dont know what the price would be but never losing the tension again seems to be a good fix, no?
Scott has been busy. I'm friends with him and couldnt get him to make me one. They do work well. i gave up and just replaced the chain and guides

Thats the first sign its going. Changing the oil always fixes it but not for long.
