I'm doing the $5 fix and I bought a Stainless steel bolt 'cause I dont want rusting... will that spoil the CCT?

just curious if anyone has a sound clip of what this problem sounds like. My 06' f4i with only about 1700 miles on it makes a clicking noise i can hear at idle but not really hear while im going. and it gets a bit louder as i ride longer and harder and the bike gets hotter.

You'll only hear the CCTL making noise in the 5,000-6,000 RPM range.....that's the ONLY time

You can definitely hear it when you're riding too (over the exhaust)!!

It basically sounds like a valvetrain rattle between 3k-6k rpm. The range seems to depend on how badly the stock cct is at the time.

I would personally not recommend the $5 fix. I tried it. Bike sounded great for about a 1/2 mile, then it started sounding like a friggin jackhammer.

I mean it was LOUD. Freaked me out so bad, I immediately tore the valve cover off, expecting one or both cams to be off-time. Neither was, so I expected the CCT sled to be shredded; it wasn't. I can only hypothesize that the jackhammer sound was from the new bolt hitting the back of the tensioner shaft after the shaft managed to slide forward a bit and develop a gap.

I'm installing a manual tensioner at this moment (got on to look for adjustment instructions). Hopefully everything will be fine after getting it on correctly.

P.S. Sorry to ressurect a long-dead thread, but I'm sure others will be reading this like I did. Just trying to save someone the same hassel I went through.
