OK I did all of that when I checked the chain tensioner.  What bolts are likely to break?  I've got a Clymers so I have some help.  Does the head have to come off?  The manual shows how to disassemble everything but not necessarily how to change the chain specifically.  Sorry if I seem lost I really just like lots of info.

The headcover bolts are the ones.

I think that one thing gets forgotten, that needs to be stressed.  We mentioned getting a manual and a CD, right?

The next thing is to "Read the Manual".  Sounds, kinda smart ass, doesn't it?  Nope, not intended to be.  Just the truth, in point.

The manual tells you to use specific tools for certain tasks.  One of those tools is a Torque Wrench.  Those bolts will break when they are over tightened.  They only need about 8 lb/feet of torque, and almost all of us can do that with our little finger and a wrench.

They also tend to get stressed and they may break later if over torqued on a previous job.

If you have any doubts...buy new bolts.

Ready for a shameless plug?  These come off my CD Tongue







I guess that no one can say that I haven't "been there", either, so now you've been warned...

Cool

I must've all the directions 10 times before I started in.
And here's a tip for you, you're removing more than one thing.
To remove all the things required to get at the cam chain, you'll be all over clymers as all the directions are in chapters.  Clutch, head, etc.  all different sections.
