Cam Chain & Tensioner Replacement
Mike, that is a brilliant write up. I particularly like the way you've marked the photos for absolute clarity of explanation. You have indeed raised the benchmark for How to articles.
If I may be so humble as to offer perhaps one further comment.... the problem of dropping anything into the engine is one that can not be stressed to much. The small R pins that attach the guide to the tensioner have to be removed and are perhaps the easiest of parts to drop, no matter how careful you're being. I would advise attaching a safety wire to these before removing them and re-installing them.
My two pennies worth but thanks.. excellent work!

Thanks for all the kind words guys it means a lot and I hope its a useful tool. Hell I think the write up took as long the job!
Henry very valid point. We almost managed to do that ourselves! I'll go back in and see if I can't wedge a side note in there (and give ya proper credit of course
)
Henry I got ya added in there! Thanks for the advice!

I went to the local shop to see how much it would cost they quoted
that does include installing the jet kit and sync carbs and dyno.
Exactly why I wrote this for ya mate. Don't let me BS you, its a tough job and if you have some "assistance" its greatly helpful. But I promise ya we can get you through it.

I hope you punched one of them right in the head !!! ??
mate ... take 3 times as long , do it yourself , using Mikes " how too " and even if someone here has to step by step it with you via a thread or PM's ....I personally think a thread would be good
... with every one chucking in a bit to help ... !!! you can do it ...

Indy ..........just jump in .......take her slow ........line up your parts

it's at the end when you need help lining up her cams etc you'll get
answers to questions you might have about timing her up.
You can do it .........I know you can
My local Guy wanted 850.......nah ............I'm doing it myself in late January
