Timing cover (Read 3 times)

marty62253 Junior Member 2004 No Login Offline Posts: 78 N. Massapequa, N.Y. Gender:	Timing cover 07/19/06 at 09:38:01 I'm trying to check the valves for the first time since I got my Savage. I'm having a heck of a time getting the ignition timing cover off to set engine at TDC. What works on this oversized screw other than the Honda tool that Clymer talks about??

Al_ironman Ex Member	Re: Timing cover Reply #3 - 07/19/06 at 12:50:03 I welded two large washers together then used channel locks to turn them. works great. I believe Honda might still sell a tool designed for that purpose; as a matter of fact, I think the Clymer manual for the Savage used to recomend that tool? you probably will not even have to weld them together.

Let's see how quick bikebandit gets that tool out to me. AND Thanx for the heads up on clymer giving the wrong direction to turn engine when aligning TDC.
