I recently had the cam chain tensioner break on my cl360, which caused the guide to break as well. After searching endlessly, i found a NEW tensioner! BUT the guy had no guides for the 360, only the 350, which is very different. I managed to modify the guide to fit into my 360's channel by zipping the top off, shave some plastic off of the 'new' top and a small 'block' towards the center of it, AND, my main concern, bent the bottom hook straight, very carefully.
Now, i know bending any metal reduces its strength, but will that be much of an issue so long as a brand new tensioner is maintained? this is how the guide broke in the first place, of course, neglecting the tensioner.
Started her up, she sounds great. Gonna rev her up on the road in a bit.
Has anyone attempted this? And with what results??
