Guys I'm putting my top end back together as a 62 year young first time rebuilder. Have a new cam chain but it is a link too short for me to throw the joiner link in. I've turned the a.lt anti clockwise to take up front slack to no avail. The two front adjuster screws ( the big ones) seem to sit about 5mm or a quarter inch into the engine, and this seems to push the front cam chain guide in too far - so I've loosened them off enough to have them sitting about flush - but still too short. I've got the old cam chain but if I run that back in to compare measurement with the new one, I still don't know how long the cam chain is meant to be - when new. Any help or suggestions appreciated. Slug. :doh
