K24 Chain Tensioner
Has anyone found a better mouse trap for the K24 tensioner? We can only safely go 4 events before ours tends to fail. Any after market tensioners I've heard about are even more precarious.

Re: K24 Chain Tensioner
your cams or something else is causing this. most people are running stock and not having this problem. if its the cams no other tensioner is gonna last either.

Re: K24 Chain Tensioner
OK but what makes it different is my question? Other companies put stops in them, harder springs, sleeves or whatever. I dont see how else the design could be improved? Strengthening the teeth or ratchet? Just because you havent seen one broken doesnt mean it doesnt break. How many people do you know with this specific tensioner anyway? And I am guessing most of them made good choices for cams and engine builders and such, also adding to the chances of the part lasting. Just wondering, is all...

Re: K24 Chain Tensioner
I agree with Mr. Reinen, if you're killing tensioners, look into your cam/valvetrain combo. The ramp rate on the cams are what usually beat up tensioners. I've seen every kind of tensioner fail, all related to camshaft choice.

I too am a HUGE fan of the Inline PRO unit...we have tried them ALL, and the Inline PRO is the unit to use.

Re: K24 Chain Tensioner
Thanks all. We run the K24 in an oval track pavement National midget - naturally aspirated/mechanically injected, on methanol. We run fairly aggressive cams - which could be causing the issue. We've not tried the Inline Pro though. We have been running stock tensioners - and they tend to last 5-6 races.
