I am having some timing chain noise. I'm a timing chain adjustment noob. The manual leaves out some detail.
I slowly loosen the 12mm jam nut ( this spins the bolt with it) a half turn or until the noise goes away. ( I have done this about a quarter turn, the bike still has chain noise but started to sound funny)
I stopped here.
Anyway - after loosening the nut a half turn , then remove the tensioner cap bolt and tighten the tensioner until the noise disappears.
This is where the instruction ends
Do I then need to tighten the adjuster jam nut while holding the adjuster bolt still? or do I just tighten the jam nut and not worry about the bolt.
Maybe this is overkill, but I'm at work right now. why not ask.
Thanks for the help.
Side note, if the timing chain were to break / skip teeth do I crash a valve into the piston ?
