I'm thinking of rephasing my engine since I have it down to the bare cases, I need new rods and will have to press the crank apart anyway. I've been reading about it on here and have a few questions. Can anyone post some good pictures of the cam chain sprocket off the crankshaft. I'm trying to understand how it goes on there before I take it apart. I've seen some cut a new notch in the flywheel weight to accomodate the new position after rephasing and I've also read that it can be pressed off and then repositioned. Any thoughts on this? I'd prefer to press it off and rotate to the correct positon vs. cutting a new notch. Form what I've read you leave the left side of the crank alone and then rotate the rightside (clutch side) forward thre splines can anyone cofirm this. Also I've seen some weld the crank pins after pressing back together, is that necessary? It's not a problem to do, just curious if necessary. Would you get the crank assembled and trued and then tack the pins, or do each half and weld them and then press the two halves together? Seems like getting it all trued up and then welding would be the best bet? Thanks for listening.
