Looking for chain tensioner 12550580
 

I have already posted this in the Parts section, but thought I can get more responses by posting here also, so excuse the double post......

After reading articles about the "chain rattle" I see that the upgrade part for the Birmal Heads is no longer available, part #12550580 Tensioner, Timing Chain R/H (Updated) 1990 - 1995 Model
Does anyone know where one might be, have contacted some vendors, but no luck as of yet. Thanks for any info......................Tom

I emailed a friend of mine who had one for sale a few months ago. Will let you know what I find out.

My friend still has his for sale. It is the number you are looking for.

Dom is a member and my friend isn't so I'll let Dom sell his first,if that's ok

That is fine with me, we will have to see if Dom has one in stock......

Ok. What I have is the Tensioner Housing. I don't have a part number however.
Its a NOS part and I can't tell you whether its a right or left hand housing.

EDIT: Looking at Jerry's catalog, the oil lube hole is in front not on the side, so this is a RH Tensioner Housing.

I dont believe that is the part I am looking for. This was an updated kit with an improved tensioner holder, as shown below.
Thank you for checking, it is appreciated.:cheers:

Clint, the part Dom has appears not to be the correct part, if you check the link in the previous post, that is the kit for the part # listed (12550580).
So if you can let your friend know that I am very interested, however you want to contact him and get back to me, or send me a PM with his contact info, whatever works best, just let me know. That is the kit I want.
Thanks again..........:-D Tom
