Timing chain replacement and Sally goes SPLAT!
04/23/10 at 13:24:50

Replaced my timing chain today and when i went to crank her up in stead of hearing whomp whomp... whomp whomp..... boom!!!! i heard whooooooooooooooow whoooooooooooooow, i.e. no compression. anyhow, removed what was neccessary to look at valves and nothing was damaged. i just don't have her in time. I see the timing marks on the cam sprocket but where are they on the crankshaft???? i saw a dot on the lower timing chain sproket (the one that sits on the crank) but that one can come off the splined crankshaft...... so i don't know what that's about.

Are the timing marks on the stater side?? or am i missing something. I def need to get this done in a hurry cuz its BEEN riding season.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Every time I try to click on it from the TOC list, it kicks me to the "forum" page where you can select rubber side down, tech doc, etc.

Reply #5 - 04/24/10 at 08:20:35 If he's talking about incorrectly timing the chain on the cam sprocket that's a different case of OOOPS. Go here and have a look at installing/timing the chain vs sprocket vs all the other alignment elements that are needed ..... http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1256079122/15
