    I'm after some replacement cam chain tensioner shoes (wear pads) for the primary and secondary cam chains for 07 up engine.

    Tried H.H. but they only sell complete assemblies not the shoes by themselves.

    Can get shoes only from US ebay but does anyone know if they are available locally anywhere?

    Not likely available here.
    The hydraulic tensioners get a bit of a pounding, esp' with high lift cams.
    If they have done enough KM's to wear them out, I would think about replacing the complete assembly.
    Or if they are showing early wear, look into the zippers units for a more stable design.

    Yeah I would rather buy the zippers dual piston than another set of stock tensioners.
    I am switching to .620 lift cams now too so might be warranted ... What's another few hundred $....
    Then there's probably more clutch work... Gotta love this addiction
