Im pretty sure I have a bad chain guide, plastic or rubber has come away from the
mount strip. Before I order a new unit and get into it I have a few questions.
If I pull the sump filter can the guide be seen up thru the opening maybe with a light scope.
Do the jugs have to be removed to change out the guide.
If not will the gasket reseal ok if not replaced, is it installed dry.
Am I better off with a new guide from Mikes xs as the ones from Yamaha may have been sitting
for 40 years on a shelf and might delaminate as the glue has gone dry.
Thx for any advise. PsThis motor was apparently apart before I purchased it 5 years ago for
new rings ect,cant locate the old owner but im pretty sure he said they changed the cam chain and or
guide ect but cant confirm unfortunately.Guess it was just a matter of time before I had to
break into the motor!
