Goes Together with the Cam Chain Tensioner from SP Takegawa on the Grom
About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the cam chain tensioner push rod head from SP Takegawa, made from a hard rubber with a similar feel if not the same as the Honda part and the dimensions are the same as the Honda part.About the feeling of use: SP Takegawa recommend using their cam chain tensioner push rod head over the ones other brands make from a harder material. I decided to follow their advice but will take a look at the part after a few thousand kms to see how it is wearing.Products to buy together: The SP Takegawa super cam chain tensioner would also be desirable to purchase along side the cam chain tensioner push rod head to complete the upgrade to your cam chain tensioner system as recommended by SP Takegawa.Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about 10 minuted, removal of the tensioner push rod sealing bolt will allow the tensioner spring and tensioner push rod to fall from the engine. Swap out the tensioner push rod head and reinstall the removed parts followed by adding 4cc of oil to the tensioner rod oiler port. Not difficult to do.Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are getting a recommended performance parts from the SP Takegawa at only a small price increase over the Honda part and cheaper then the Kitaco part.About shipping and packaging: Sea frieght was my perferred method of shipping due to the lower cost but currently unavailable due to Japan Post. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: The cam chain tensioner push rod head is a consumable part and should be inspected periodically and replaced when required to keep your engine timing from skipping a beat.
