Info In other words it makes stuff stronger and last longer!
“I used
to have to adjust my Yamaha motorcycle chain after the first run because
it would stretch. After cryo-treatment, the chains don't stretch at all,
and the treatment also keeps cam chains from breaking. I haven't broken
a chain since I started cryo-treating all of my parts.” |

Step #2: Chain Treatment Years ago, we always wondered what lubricants were used on the inside of the chains when being made. We also wondered how long it would take for oil to penetrate through the side plates to lubricate chain rollers and pins. After cutting and inspecting the inside of new and pre-owned chains, we have developed a procedure that will double or triple chain life. The chains are Cryo treated and followed up by putting them in vibrator tub for days with break-in oil to penetrate the links. It works great.

Cryo Info
These chains have gone through our cryogenic
treatment, which involves taking the chains down
to temperatures of minus 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
What this does is rearranges the molecular
structure of the item being treated, making them
more uniform and evenly spread. Why is this
good? Well, after this process is complete the
item treated has increased tensile strength and
resistance to wear.
In other words it makes stuff stronger and last longer!

CycleX Primary Chain Tensioner UpgradeHonda OEM primary tensioners are proven to be a good design except for when the chains stretch a bit. We have noticed when a Honda cb750 is driven aggressively the chains begin to reach the wear limits as soon as 8000 miles. Most of us have heard that rattling noise at idle ... It's the chains. Introducing the Honda OEM quality tensioners with an 8% stronger spring. Problem solved. # ENG-555 $ 169.00 |

OEM Adjustable Camshaft Sprockets We all know why adjustable camshaft sprockets are used in the high performance world. But, stock motor configuration motors can benefit from these also. Have you ever tried to line up the camshaft marks after any sort of motor work or checking a few things? The marks usually never line up perfectly because of many reasons. One of the main reasons on a stock motor with any miles is cam chain stretch. The cam chain is like a rear chain. It stretches. So, install these modified poor man's adjustable OEM cam chain sprockets and realign your cam timing or install your performance cam. CS-017A

OEM Adjustable Camshaft Sprocket Combo Our adjustable camshaft sprocket also comes with a set of shouldered bolts to compliment. Note:
These shouldered bolts are a great upgrade and a little insurance that the
camshaft bolts do not move or slip when using higher spring pressures. CS-017B

Falicon Slotted Cam Chain Sprocket and
Honda These Falicon slotted
cam chain sprockets are new and preferred by many engine builders around
the world. Note:
These kits are not just for high performance applications. When cam chains stretch, cam chain rollers wear a bit, thinner head gaskets are used and heads/cylinders are milled you will need to adjust your cam timing marks to the original positions. By using these adjustable sprocket kits, the cam timing can be "bumped" back to the original position. OUT OF STOCK |

Cam Chain Tensioners...Here is the Problem! The above photos show an OEM Honda tensioner and an unidentified aftermarket tensioner. These photos were from an AHRMA vintage roadracer's bike (thanks Matt Esterline #237) and clearly show the problem. The OEM tensioner lasted approx. 3 weekend races and the aftermarket tensioner approx. 10 weekend races. These types of product malfunctions are exaggerated when racing is involved, but racing makes for a good test because these results happen in street bikes as well. Note: Matt's bike is using an OEM stock cam chain tensioner rather than a manual tensioner that has been overadjusted.

Full Floating, Self Compensating Cam Chain Tensioner
These cam chain
tensioners are designed to float and compensate for milled heads,
thinner gaskets, worn/stretched cam chains and hard deceleration
which destroys OEM tensioners.
The arrows show
how the sliders can move a few degrees to compensate for the above
mentioned problems.
Note: Fixed slider designs shift the pressure points upward and only make contact at the very top when thinner gaskets, milling and stretched chains. This project presented several obstacles that needed the expertise of a world class machine shop in the great state of Texas. With a combination of 3D imaging, motor cut-a-ways and proven XPA-46 materials, no expense was spared. This floating/self compensating design and highly accurate machining processes surely makes this a candidate for product of the decade (we like saying that). NOTE: ITEM IS NO LONGER AS PICTURED. NOW COMES WITH A STOCK SLIPPER ENG-108 $349.00 OUT OF STOCK - APPROX. ETA LATE 2023 |
