Just a thought... has anyone ever experienced renewing the spring when stripping a TCT.
Either for a direct replacement or something with a little more tension.
I understand the TCT also works using spring energy for when the engine is started up, then oil pressure takes over and applys the full needed tension to the chain.
I'm just thinking that with a stonger spring, it might eleminate the need to ever change them again.
Mine is pretty bad at the moment and ive got Matt supplying me with a new one in the next few weeks. but im thinking if i had a stronger spring i would not get the ticking sound as i only get it on warm idle, if i rev a little (raising oil press) it goes away.
Just a thought........?

I stretch the spring out again when refurbing, but I haven't replaced for a stronger one - it has been done, though.
P.J - I haven't had a chance to look at your video, but humming will indeed be the intake. Ticking could either be TCT (though once they start to go, they get worse very quickly in my experience - as in, within a few hundred miles it'll be at a point where it drives you mad) - it could also be tappets - have they ever been done?

Please keep discussion to the refurb of TCTs, not tappets.
PJ, please pm me with your intentions...you still haven't let me know if you'd like one or not.

I will not be taking on any more orders for refurbishments. I will be spending most of next year on the high seas, and want some time off beforehand.
The following people WILL receive a refurbed TCT as discussed:

McConnell
bkz187
buann
stew-t (subject to payment)

A quick question for the TCT refurb gurus.
Can anyone point me in the direction of obtaining replacement O-rings for the TCT back cover (the one covering the oil bolt) i believe that a second hand TCT i purchased might have faulty ones and i need replacements.
Thanks
