Manual Book Kawasaki W175 ((hot))

Let me share a cautionary tale. A W175 owner in Manila complained of a rattling noise. Instead of opening the manual book, he tightened the timing chain tensioner manually. He overtightened it, snapped the chain guide, and destroyed the cylinder head. Cost of repair: $500. Cost of reading the manual book (which said "do not adjust automatic tensioner manually"): $0.
