It was our discussion in Tulsa, I think, that spurred the question.
Fwiw, in theory, I don't think that blocking off the oil feed would be any
worse than the stock hydraulic detensioner during a cold start. If anything,
you should have more belt tension during a cold start, not less, right?
Fwiw, I thought your idea was a pretty good one, and I'll probably give it a
whirl myself at some point.
APE has also been recommending using the hydraulic detensioners in this
manner. i have one i got
from them with the intent of doing this on the milano, but it currently
has the mechanical detensioner
on it and the shorter stud, so i haven't tried to install the hydraulic
unit.
