• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Ape MCCT

The thread on the APE MCCT bolt is 14TPI, .071" per turn and .012" per flat. The notches on the ACCT are around 1mm/.040".
So if my foggy math is close this Saturday morning, I would say a quarter turn/.018" is less that 1/2 click.
 
Thanks, I set it last year when CC was new and ACCT was at 4 or 5 clicks. I felt like it needed half a click and that's what I was trying for without pulling the ape and putting the auto one back in for reference. A half click a year will get a lot of life out of the CC.

I started adjusting mine with the engine idling and a 5/8" wobblysocket/open end wrench. I found that turning it in until turning anymore doesn't change the sound is just right. If that makes sense?

Hi Guys,

When I installed my APE recently with only 1400 miles on the 08 and 4 clicks on the ACT, I kept
rotating the engine with spark plug out and noticing the distance at chain "tension" it wanted to
push the MCCT away from the block with various plunger adjustments.
It seemed at about 2-3mm away from block at chain max
tension the MCCT would still contact the CC guide very gently when rotated to "slack" and
therefore when MCCT was pushed back in against the block for mounting the pressure on the
guide was pretty light at CC tension position. The engine is quiet.
I agree, I think light guide pressure will lend itself to long CC life.......and I don't rev much above 5 grand
in most situations so I'm hoping I'm not "whipping" the chain much.
