[QUOTE="2Wheels, post: 218816, member: 3804"] Finally got the timing chain in yesterday, first thing ordered and last to arrive. Popped that baby together first try. Usually, I have to slip it together sharpie mark the link/cam sprocket and move one way or the other but it was a no look half court swish. I must be getting good at this because the battery was dead and I lit it up 3rd kick. There’s some weird shit in the manual though(which I followed) like bolting down the cyl/head says and I forget the exact tq# but something like [B]stagger tighten to 35 ftlbs then remove bolts re-molybdenum threads then tighten to 22 ftlbs, then another 180° turn in 90° increments. [/B] It didn’t give a final tq spec it just said tighten to X then give another 1/2 turn. Must have been Dr. Gutentight’s contribution to the process. Either way it runs like a top.
