Default RH upgraded Cam tensioner Group Buy.

From the discussion a couple weeks back, this is the proposal received for the RH upgraded Cam tensioner kit.

An upgrade from the factory to eliminate chain rattle due to oil draining back inside the head and leaving the tensioner dry thus causing chain rattle Since GM have now discontinued this part and there are many engines out there that could benefit from the upgrade, we contacted CT Machining to remanufacture the housing.

There are two kits we'll call them "A" & "B":

  • "A" will consist of the upper and lower aluminium housing, as well as all hardware screws qty 2, 1 set screw, 2 oil seals and instructions, but will NOT include the actual tensioner plunger. You CAN reset the plunger if you are lucky and have patience. The FSM recommends replacing it, but we believe this more so the reason as it is a SOB to re-set.
  • "B" will contain everything in kit "A" as well as a new tensioner plunger.
This is the GM kit and what is included in "B"


Kit "A" will the above items less the tensioner as posted below.


Price:

"A" $169.99 + $12.00 Shipping
"B" $299.99 + $12.00 Shipping

I don't need any funds until the item is ready to ship, delivery time frame is 4-6 weeks. Need to pre-sell 15 sets to make it $$$ doable.

To clarify the purpose of this kit - is this intended to reduce timing chain rattle on startup? Is there any other reason to justify the upgrade, other than to reduce the rattle?
