Factory Cog Tensioner installed in Rotorway 162F

This video shows the start sequence of the factory oil pressure actuated cog belt tensioner. Notice the tension applied by the cog wheel until the engine oil pressure builds following engine start. Notice the amount of cog belt movement during the start squence and during running compared to the VP elastomeric cog belt tensioner shown on the other video.

Hi You have little air in the hydraulic sylinder. After proper bleeding there's no sharp movement in hydraulic tensioner. I drilled little hole to the upper part of cylinder and after threading installed little bleeding screw to it. Difference in operation was huge after getting all air out!!!!!
