[QUOTE="SRAD97750, post: 139785, member: 425"] Well, we'll start out this updated with new part that came in the mail! A brand new RK 520X118 standard chain with clip type master link. [ATTACH=full]16209[/ATTACH] And! Threw the crank in and seated it against it's bearing. One really good look over to ensure everything is installed and in place. [ATTACH=full]16205[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]16206[/ATTACH] Got my bolts organized clockwise from the top so I'm not fiddling with bolt lengths... [ATTACH=full]16207[/ATTACH] Test fit to ensure the shift star lines up with its recesses. 1st gear was the trick! [ATTACH=full]16208[/ATTACH] Applied grease to the bearings and journals for an easy installation. Slapped them case halves together! Yes, I am liberal with the sealant. Not planning on pulling these cases again for some time. Sealant I used is the yamabond 4 equivalent. "For rigid flanges, semi-hardening, permanent assembly, completely fuel and solvent resistant." It was even stringy like yamabond 4. [ATTACH=full]16210[/ATTACH] Squeezed out and cleaned up. Torqued the bolts to spec in the star pattern per the maintenance manual. [ATTACH=full]16211[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]16212[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]16213[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]16214[/ATTACH] Everything spins freely and shifts through the gears smoothly. More to come! -BIG DAN:thumb: [/QUOTE]
