Cat DNA Strikes again! -CHAINCASE TENSIONER ROLLER WHEEL FAIL

Appears that 2018 got an updated seal on the chaincase outer. The original one in post and this new one are orange and look fatter than mine on my 2017 which is black.
Usually the orange (brown)are viton &designed for higher heat,they may have determined the black wasn't suitable for temperatures being seen
 

The older Cat tensioner seems fool proof. Has anyone heard of a failure in one of these?


Yes, they had many failures and the reason they went away from it and went manual. Wonder however if we could use the pad instead of the roller, but tack welding the screws will work too.

Ordered top 22T gear , top bushing comes damaged from cat factory :( It probably won’t hurt it but its definitely not Japan quality

That looks like dog crap. Send it back. Or at least send them a picture of it, then let them make the call.
 
No , the packaging clearly looked original, I would bet it was from factory the way the bubble wrap was .
