thanks for that!tony.mon wrote:Manuals are entirely safe, but will need to be adjusted every year or two, with the miles you do. But it's quick and easy, slacken off a locknut and adjust the main bolt; once it's quiet again do the locknut up again. No spring fitted at all.
Stoppers are a bit of sawn-off bolt or rod inserted into the standard CCT. The spring can still fail, but then the plunger can't retract far enough so that the cam chain can jump teeth and bend valves.
If the spring fails you'll still have to change the CCT, though.
Your choice, really.
