Not sure why the timing chain jumped a tooth on the exhaust cam. Ran great for our three week trip to Idaho dunes. Went to the Oregon dunes a couple weeks ago and it wouldnt hardly run. The only thing I did between trips was a oil change and took some boost out. After making sure there was no damage and fixing the timing we checked the running oil pressure and compaired the cam chain tensioner new a new one. Both were fine. What am I missing? Was told that the polaris oil could be too thin at super high temps not letting the oil fired tensioner work properly.

I bought the K&T Performance Manual Tension-er for this exact reason... Under boost the chains have been known to jump a tooth...

The K&T Tension-er eliminates this problem...

are you using the stock springs and are you running a stock chain pensioner.

If your asking about the valve springs the answer is no. I am using beehive springs w/titanium retainers.

Tim, with manual tensioner do you need to block the oil channel going there ?

No, it has a o-ring to prevent oil seepage...

Just curious what did your plugs look like? I had something weird happen with my RZR but it still seems to run but the mag side plug was dark and the PTO side was white. It's been harder to start too. I had some weird AFR's right around when I thought all of this happened but I thought it was from a leak in my exhaust system but just now started looking into it since I've had mine parked for almost the year.

One's running rich (dark) and one is running lean (white)... Both should be tan...

Thanks mine look exactly like that. So I'm guessing its time to throw cams in since its gota come apart!
