Quick vent,
Motor WAS all back in the frame nice and pretty like, until, as Im installing my PAMCO, realize the god damn cam was off a few degrees.
AGhh.
SO, yank that bitch out solo in a cloud of fury, get it up on the bench, tear down, re-assemble, and what happens? Oh, just break a head stud at 8 god damn pounds of pressure as Im torquing the last few up. Really? I chased all my threads, new nuts, new washers.. Just bad luck..
Not only that, but I some how managed to break a cam chain tensioner bolt as well. Again, this one was about 6 lbs of force. Granted, I was reusing the stock bolts for the tensioner.
A buddy arrives at my shop and is laughing at me because he had gotten 3 separate calls from other dudes around town having a hell of a day, including himself. Seems nobody was having much like today.
Anyone else have some troubles they'd like to share?
Oh, and as im cursing and all mad, I watch my mate Jay take his shovel chop for the first ride since he built it. Starts first kick. Damn you!
