hey guys, so I picked up a new cam chain from u no where and I noticed that one of my bearings gas some play...if you look at motor upside down in the rebuild position its the center bearing to left of the cam chain cog, all other bearings don't move at all but this one has some front to back play and side play , yes , it is in locating pin..race on opp side has 0 play...am I screwed or can I get away with this??? omly moves in either direction about 1.5mm maybe less just a guesstimate..cases are still split..why didnt they put locater pins on opp side of case so bearings are positive lock in seat?? and why cant I find the master link on new cam chain? does it need to be in a tdc position or it doesnt matter? did 219 chain..my motor is a 79. thanks:banghead::banghead::banghead:
