It’s been refreshing to see people praising the ccza as it has had a hard time over the years! Every engine has its faults 😀

Yeah exactly, not to say I didn’t hate it at the time the tensioner failed 😕 

 

When it works it’s a fantastic engine!

Very much agreed! I believe if you change the tensioner (if the engine hasn’t already gone bang) then it’s a pretty good engine 👍🏻

What's the expected life of the revised tensioner?

I believe they should last life of the engine but... some choose to change the chain and tensioner after a certain mileage for piece of mind or if the chain stretches etc. 😀
