Hey Dave ... the point is I don't know if its broke or not. I just know I was hearing a loose tappet kinda of noise and the valve clearances are all perfect. Also know that my previous 1991 Honda Nighthawk 750 needed a new cam chain tensioner at about 30k (in 2015) so that got me thinking about the possibility on my CB1100. Replacing the tensioner lifter can be done anytime per my research, but the internal components (tensioner) require at least the valve cover to be off and maybe even the cams.
