Topic: Cam tensioner question...

[Z-MO]

So I am doing my first rebuild, 75 CB750, and was wondering how to tell if I need to replace the cam chain tensioner.  The roller is pretty hard.  Below is a pretty bad pic of it.  I will try to take a better one this afternoon.

Thanks

It doesn,t look to chipped up but what the heck since your in there why not pop for a new one if it real hard. My place shows them for $18.71. How does the other guide plate look. That's around $17.00. Sure is fun spending others money

If its not chipped yet it will be. It's a good idea to replace all rubber bits while it's open.

Replace it, cheap insurance.

You actually answered your own question when you said it was hard!

Fair enough.  I kind of figured I already knew the answer but this is my first time, thought I would check.  Thanks guys.
