Ok, Newbies at it again!!
09/28/07 at 18:21:23
Sorry to bug you, im the newbie with the cam chain that just went out.
I got the motor torn down and chain in place, but not mounted, any tips on how to the the chain around both top and bottom gears without messing up the teeth? im just afraid of messing something up
and another thing, i set the piston to tdc yesterday, think it will still be ok? im worried about sagging or something.
Thanks once again and sorry for the multiple threads

i think i just put the chain on the bottom gear first, then the top. sometimes the piston will drop after sitting, but i never had that problem. the hardest part for me was actually getting it in time. probably took at least ten tries to get everything lined up.

did you just pry it onto the top gear, cause my chain is a little too short to slip on

Have to remove top gear , it's "pinned" and only goes back on one way. Then get chain on lower gear. Do the Top-Dead-Center marks line up. Then with minor pressure push top gear (with chain on it) back on.
It is extremely important to get the TDC line up correct.

Yeah, what T-mack said. Remove the gear from the cam itself and slip it into the chain, then replace the gear. What I did was put the piston on TDC then placed the cam with both lobes pointing down. You then should be timed. (It worked for me)
