Product Description
APE manual cam chain tensioners are designed to replace the automatic and hydraulic tensioners on high performance engines. The automatic adjusters can back out when the throttle is closed suddenly at high rpm. This allows the cams to go momentarely out of time, and can result in bent valves and/or serious engine damage. Hydraulic tensioners have a tendency to put too much tension on the chain guide under high rpm/high oil pressure conditions, resulting in premature wear.
Both problems can be eliminated with the installation of the APE manual tensioner. No mater what the engine does, the cam chain tension will remain constant. An APE manual cam chain tensioner is a must for any kind of performance riding.
APE manual tensioners are CNC machined from billet alloy to exact tolerances for perfect fit.
Color will vary depending on Make/Model/Year and are not selectable.

Get rid of your hydraulic with this product
Hydraulic tensioners are great in theory. But for people really racing and moving fully through the rev range, you change oil pressures quickly, thus not allowing the hydraulic tensioner to keep up. Or for Hondas they simply wear out. Great fix couldn't be happier.

Ape Tensioners
They are easy to install & trouble free. Also, not putting excessive pressure on chain & guides makes them last longer.
