Little bit more about the Ballade Sport TCT:
The Honda S2000 suffers from an extremely weak timing chain tensioner. Stock vehicles have experienced noise and rattle from the TCT after 40k miles or even sooner. This faulty piece from Honda also makes it impossible to run high lift cam shafts or run forced induction without experiencing TCT failure. Ballade Sports provides a heavy duty TCT eliminates all of this using a billet aluminum similar to the OEM cast aluminum design. Ballade Sports omitted some of the oil galleys in their design versus the Honda design to increase oil pressure. They also increased the spring rate on the internal piston to compensate for the stretched timing chain and guides.
The S2000 are no longer subject to embarrassing ticking noise or limited to low horse power gains from a weak TCT. Ballade Sports Heavy Duty S2000 timing chain tensioners are BRAND NEW, not re-manufactured units.
