Title: cam ? ?
Post by tfrawg75 on 07/23/09 at 14:04:55

I have my motor apart to do cam chain and fix oil leaks on cylinder. My question is I've got motor on TDC what position should I put cam in? Do i line up marks on cam with head like is says in clymer's ? Or is there a better way?

With cam chain on the forward side taunt, the marks on the cam shaft should be horizontal and the pin at 1 o'clock. If not perfectly horizontal they should be up on the taunt side.

I haven't done it yet, (cam chain on the way!!!), but I am also planning on using this video and instruction guide as a reference...
